The Neato integration allows you to control your Neato Botvac Connected Robots.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
camera | Camera | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
vacuum | Vacuum (as a switch) | |
button | Button (as a switch) |
What people report
Neato Botvac robots depended on Neato's cloud, which Vorwerk announced shutting down in late 2025, so the integration stopped working. Vorwerk robots were supported earlier.
