Google Home Roomba and Braava Voice Commands List
Since its announcement in 2018, you can use simple voice commands to start, stop, and pause cleaning jobs on your Roomba and Braava Jet robots. This means yelling “Hey Google, start vacuuming” or “Hey Google, start mopping” will be enough to get your robots going.
But did you know that you can tell your Roomba and Braava Jet robots to do so much more?
We have created the ultimate Roomba and Braava Jet Google Home/Assistant voice commands list so you can operate your robots easily. You can use the quick navigation tab below to go to specific commands.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before enjoying this feature, be sure to connect your Roomba to your home’s Wi-Fi network. If you have not done it, please follow the steps right here. After completing the setup, you can choose to name your robot. If you need ideas, you can read our list of the funniest Roomba names.
