Neato has announced a new Neato app for their Neato Botvac Connected that will let you control your robot vacuum with your Apple Watch or Android Wear smartwatch.
Enhancements to the app that starts, stops and monitors Neato’s Wi-Fi enabled Botvac™ Connected robot vacuum now give users control right from Apple and Android smartwatches. Available today, the automatic upgrade brings new functionality to Neato’s smartest and most powerful robot vacuum.
“Smartwatches are letting people do many things right from their wrist – like check in for a flight, get directions, answer the phone, play music,” said Avril Murphy, Neato’s VP Sales and Marketing, EMEA. “Why not cleaning? We’re happy to be the first to add this new task to the list.”
Enhanced Features and Usability
The new app update brings a host of enhanced features that make the Neato Botvac Connected even more user-friendly. With the integration of smartwatch control, users can now start, stop, and monitor their robot vacuum without needing to reach for their smartphones. This is particularly useful for those who are always on the go and prefer the convenience of managing their household chores from their wrist.
For instance, imagine you’re in the middle of a meeting and suddenly remember that you forgot to start the vacuum. With the new app, you can discreetly start the cleaning process right from your Apple Watch or Android Wear smartwatch. This level of convenience is unprecedented and sets a new standard for smart home devices.
Smart Home Integration
The Neato Botvac Connected is already known for its smart home integration capabilities. It works seamlessly with other smart home devices such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home. The addition of smartwatch control further enhances its integration into the smart home ecosystem. Users can now issue voice commands through their smart speakers or use their smartwatches to control the vacuum, making it a versatile and essential tool for modern living.
Moreover, the app provides real-time notifications and updates on the cleaning status, battery life, and any issues that may arise during the cleaning process. This ensures that users are always informed and can take immediate action if needed. For example, if the vacuum gets stuck or the battery is running low, you’ll receive an instant alert on your smartwatch, allowing you to address the issue promptly.
The app also includes scheduling features, enabling users to set specific times for the vacuum to clean. This is particularly useful for those who want to maintain a clean home without having to manually start the vacuum each time. You can set it to clean while you’re at work, ensuring you come home to a spotless living space.
