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.
