Review: Ecovacs' X8 Pro Omni Robot Now Works With HomeKit

The Ecovacs X8 Pro Omni robot vacuum is now compatible with HomeKit, thanks to iOS 18.4 introducing support for robot vacuums in HomeKit.
The X8 Pro Omni is a circular vacuum that can vacuum and mop, equipped with a base containing various compartments for cleaning and water tanks.
While the X8 Pro Omni offers powerful suction and effective cleaning capabilities, its size may not be ideal for small spaces.
The robot vacuum includes a camera for navigation, room mapping, and obstacle avoidance, along with a microphone and speaker for voice commands.
It features a unique roller mop for mopping, providing thorough cleaning even for tough stains like dried food.
The robot vacuum can be controlled through the Ecovacs app, offering detailed maintenance information and specific cleaning modes.
The Home app and Siri integration for the X8 Pro Omni offer limited functionality compared to the Ecovacs app, making direct app control more practical.
With Matter integration and HomeKit support, users can initiate cleaning cycles using Siri commands, but app control remains more comprehensive.
The X8 Pro Omni can map out room layouts, adjust cleaning settings, and provide ongoing surveillance through the Ecovacs app.
While privacy concerns exist due to its camera feature, Ecovacs ensures data encryption and offers privacy controls in the app.
