// Capable machines, cloud-tied integration

Ecovacs

A large range covering everything from budget models to high-end mopping robots, with a workable but entirely cloud-based Home Assistant integration.

Why we use Ecovacs

Wide range, so there is a model at most price points.
The integration covers start, stop, return to dock and status reliably.
Some models handle mopping better than the competition.

Where we do not, and why

Entirely cloud-dependent. No local control path.
Regional account and server behaviour has caused integration failures.
Map and room-level features are limited compared with Roborock.
On-board cameras on some models raise the same privacy question.

// Frequently asked

Ecovacs, answered plainly

Does Ecovacs work with Home Assistant?

Yes, through a cloud integration that handles start, stop, docking and status. Room-level control and map features are more limited than Roborock.

Will it keep working if my internet is down?

The vacuum will still clean on its own schedule, but you will not be able to control it from Home Assistant, because the integration goes through Ecovacs' servers.
