Many voice control lovers are asking if this robot vacuum works with Google Home.

This article will focus on the relationship between Google Home and Eufy RoboVac, so you will learn the steps to connect them and what voice commands you need to know to operate your robot, and the main benefit of this integration.

How to connect Eufy RoboVac to Google Home?

To pair your robot vacuum and control it with Google Home, you must have a Eufy RoboVac connected to the EufyHome app and a Google Assistant-enabled device, and a “Google Home App” already installed on your phone or tablet with an account in it.

Before doing anything you need to make sure that your robot is connected to Wifi and if there’s any problem related to that you can read this post to solve it: “12 Tips To Get Eufy RoboVac Back Online”.

Once you have all that you can follow the steps below to connect them:

  1. Go to the Google Home app and log in to your Google Account.
  2. Choose the (+) icon at the top.
  3. Then tap on Set up a device.
  4. Under Works With, choose “Have something already set up?”.
  5. Scroll to or search for “EufyHome” in the search bar.
  6. Enter your “EufyHome” account email and password, then click Authorize.
  7. Once linked successfully you can assign the device to a specific room or skip this step and click done.

Then I recommend deactivating the Do Not Disturb Mode on the Google Home app to be able to receive the notifications of your robot on your smart speaker or display, and here’s how to do it:

  1. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is linked to the same account as your speaker or display.
  2. Launch the Google Home app.
  3. Choose your speaker or display.
  4. Go to Settings and choose Notifications & digital wellbeing, then Do not disturb.
  5. Turn Do not disturb off.

If you are using Google Assistant to control two or more RoboVac you have to give a different name to each one of them to make it easier to control them with your voice, and here’s how to change its name from the Google Home app:

  1. Launch the Google Home app on your phone or tablet.
  2. Select the RoboVac you want to edit.
  3. At the top right corner, tap Settings.
  4. Then Device information and then Device name.
  5. Enter a new name and tap Save.

Changing the name on the EufyHome app is possible by following the instructions below:

  1. Make sure that your RoboVac is connected to your Wifi and shows online on the EufyHome app.
  2. Select the RoboVac that you want to rename.
  3. Tap the three dots on the top right corner.
  4. Click the pen icon to edit RoboVac’s name.
  5. Change the name and tap Save.

Important: The manufacturer is recommending adding a simple name without special characters or an emoji to make it easier for the voice assistant to recognize, you can use names like “RoboVac bedroom” or “RoboVac living-room”.

Google Home voice commands to use with your Eufy RoboVac.

Memorizing some voice commands is essential to control your Eufy RoboVac with your Google speaker or display, in this section of this article I will show you all commands offered by Google to manage your robot vacuum:

  • “Google, ask RoboVac to start cleaning”.
  • “OK Google, ask RoboVac to stop cleaning”.
  • “OK Google, ask RoboVac to find my robot”.
  • “Hey Google, ask RoboVac to go home”.

And if you added more than one robot to the Google Home app you need to add the name of the device to the commands when running the robot and here’s how:

  • “Google, ask RoboVac (robot name) to start cleaning”.
  • “OK Google, ask RoboVac (robot name) to stop cleaning”.
  • “Hey Google, ask RoboVac (robot name) to find my robot”.
  • “OK Google, ask RoboVac (robot name) to go home”.

Benefits of Google Home and Eufy RoboVac integration.

People who are controlling all their smart home gadgets with Google Assistant will have the advantage to add the Eufy RoboVac to their collection without having to rely on another voice assistant like Alexa or Siri.

Also, people who want to make the process of running this device easier will have the possibility to clean their floor with a simple voice command instead of going to the app and searching for the product and tapping the start button, which may be great for the elderly who may face some difficulties with technology.

The voice controlling option may not be for everyone some categories find it fine to manage and control the robot vacuum from the app, so after a time they want to unlink their account from Google Home.
