If you use voice commands to control your Roomba with Alexa, it may open its dedicated voice skill and ask for further guidance.

For better understanding, let’s have the example of having more than one Roomba vacuum in your home.

You will get a prompt on the app that opens the skill of iRobot and asks you to select a dedicated number to select the correct robot.

For instance, “for Roomba s9, you could say 1, and for Roomba i7, you can say 2.” That’s not difficult?

If you don’t want to get into any trouble or confusion, you can change the setting or use the Brave jet mopping robots and use the below phrase:-

“Alexa, ask Roomba to have Roomba (1) or (s9) start cleaning.”

Roomba also has other options, including making announcements on an Echo device when it requires attention for some of its workings.

These announcements help to tell you things like it has finished your cleaning job or any other related announcements.

Although you can also turn it on or off and select which device can make announcements in the Settings section of the Roomba app.

Conclusion

Roomba vacuums are specially designed to work with Amazon’s Alexa, and they will only work with your voice commands.

The basic features of some of the commonly used vacuums include start, pause, stop, and dock.

However, in the case of premium and specific or separate options, some high-quality vacuum cleaners only allow cleaning specific areas of your house.

For instance, if you want to clean only the kitchen or the living room, you must command Roomba through Alexa to clean only the kitchen or living room.
