Connect Ecovacs with Siri: With a small detour to voice control


Ecovacs offers its customers practical smart home devices such as vacuum and mopping robots, window cleaning robots or robotic lawnmowers such as the Ecovacs Goat G2. With the practical devices you can make household work easier and save time. It’s even more convenient and quicker if you operate your devices with voice control.

Voice control in a roundabout way

Most Ecovacs models can be connected to a voice assistant such as Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa via the Ecovacs Home app. Things are different with Siri. Here you have to know how to help yourself differently, as there is currently no integration of vacuum robots into Apple’s HomeKit.

Connect Ecovacs devices with Siri

Alternatively, you can connect your Ecovacs vacuum robot and Apple’s voice assistant by installing the Ecovacs Home app and the shortcuts app on your iPhone or iPad and using them for operation. We’ll show you how to do this.

This is how you connect Ecovacs devices with Siri

  1. 1

    Opens the Ecovacs Home app.

  2. 2

    Then go to the shortcuts app, which you can find on the home screen of your smartphone under the downloaded widgets.

  3. 3

    Then press the + sign to add Xiaomi Home as a new widget to your app.

  4. 4

    You can save your shortcuts in the app and use them with the connected Ecovacs vacuum robots.

Voice commands to your Ecovacs devices

If you give the shortcuts and voice commands to your Ecovacs devices, you have to start with “Hey Siri” so that the voice assistant can react to your voice. If you can’t think of any suitable ideas for operating your little household helpers, we have some suggestions for you here:

  • Hey Siri, stop vacuuming/cleaning
  • Hey Siri, stop vacuuming/cleaning.
  • Hey Siri, continue vacuuming/cleaning.
  • Hey Siri, pause the cleaning process.
  • Hey Siri, let the robotic lawnmower mow the lawn.
  • Hey Siri, what’s the current status?

Do you want to know how often you should vacuum with the robot vacuum to maintain a clean home? We have the answer! If you are worried about the potentially high electricity costs of your little household helper, we also have helpful information for you.
