ROMY Vacuum Cleaner & Home Assistant
ROMY Vacuum Cleaner brings robot vacuums into Home Assistant as a vacuum entity, so cleaning runs on the same schedules and conditions as the rest of the home rather than in a separate phone app. Start, pause, stop, send the robot back to its dock, or clean a single room from the dashboard, a voice assistant, or an automation.
How much of that survives an internet outage depends on the robot. Selora specifies ROMY Vacuum Cleaner hardware for its local control path wherever one exists, so day-to-day commands stay on the LAN and the home’s floor plan is not the manufacturer’s to hold.
HA DocumentationHow ROMY Vacuum Cleaner Works with Home Assistant
Getting ROMY Vacuum Cleaner connected to Home Assistant and running reliably.
Add the robot
Home Assistant connects to ROMY Vacuum Cleaner and exposes each robot as a vacuum entity with cleaning state, battery level, and error reporting.
Map rooms to areas
Once the robot's mapped segments are matched to Home Assistant areas, an automation can send it to the kitchen or the hallway instead of cleaning the whole floor.
Clean on conditions, not timers
Run a full pass when the last person leaves, tidy the dining room after dinner, and hold the robot still during meetings, naps, and overnight hours.
Common ROMY Vacuum Cleaner Issues
The problems installers run into with ROMY Vacuum Cleaner and Home Assistant — and how a managed setup prevents them.
Cloud dependency the app never mentions
Many robots route every command through the vendor's servers, so the vacuum stops responding when that service is down even though the robot and Home Assistant are both on the same network. The local control path matters more here than the feature list.
The map is the floor plan of the home
A mapping robot builds a measured layout of the house, and on a cloud-tethered model that map lives on the vendor's servers behind an app login. For privacy-critical sites this is the deciding factor, not suction.
Rooms drift after a re-map
Re-mapping, a firmware update, or moving furniture can renumber segments, which silently breaks per-room automations that referenced the old IDs. Segment-to-area mapping needs re-checking after any of those.
Docks and consumables need a floor plan too
Auto-empty and mop-washing docks need power and, on some models, drainage, and brushes, filters, and mop pads are wear items. Siting the dock and tracking consumables is part of the install, not an afterthought.
Why installers choose managed ROMY Vacuum Cleaner robot vacuums
- Local control path chosen and verified, so cleaning survives an internet outage
- Segments mapped to Home Assistant areas and re-checked after firmware updates
- Do-not-disturb windows built in, so the robot never runs during a meeting or a nap
- Consumable and dock maintenance tracked instead of discovered when cleaning degrades
