iRobot announces it has started to roll out iRobot Genius 4.0 Home
Intelligence software update to Roomba robot vacuum and Braava jet robot mop
customers. This update finally brings Siri support to all users.
iRobot Genius 4.0 adds to <https://amzn.to/3IkwLBl> Roomba i3 and i3+
room-specific cleaning preferences, Siri Shortcut integration, child & pet
lock, and Do Not Disturb. In addition, this version expands the list of
objects Roomba j Series can recognize and avoid, including clothing and
towels.
The beauty of iRobot Genius is that our robots get smarter over time and
continuously provide customers with new ways to clean where, when and how
they want, said Keith Hartsfield, chief product officer at iRobot. From
the day a customer welcomes a Roomba robot vacuum or Braava jet robot mop
into their home, they know that theyll always benefit from new features and
functionality. They are also getting a robot that works harder for them, so
they dont have to.
Here are some of the new features:
* Tell Roomba i3 and i3+ to clean the rooms you want: Customers can
now create customizable Smart Maps for their Roomba i3 and i3+ robot
vacuums, enabling them to send their robot to clean specific rooms via the
iRobot Home app or through their preferred voice assistant;
* Clean each room the way you want: Users who own Imprint Smart
Mapping-capable robots will have more control of how their robot cleans with
Room-Specific Cleaning Preferences;
* Use Siri to clean: Roomba robot vacuums and Braava jet robot mops
who use an iOS device will have the option to connect their robot to Siri in
the iRobot Home App. Want to vacuum your whole home? Set up your own custom
phrase, and just say Hey Siri, ask Roomba to clean everywhere;
* No more accidental starts: With Child & Pet Lock function on the
iRobot Home App, it temporarily disables the physical Clean button on
Wi-Fi connected Roomba and Braava jet robots;
* Do not disturb: With the Do Not Disturb feature, customers can use
the iRobot Home App to define windows of time in which the robot should not
run, whether that be when someone is asleep or in a meeting.
In addition to that, iRobot announced that the Roomba i3 and i3+ will be
sold as the Roomba i3 EVO and <https://amzn.to/3IkwLBl> Roomba i3+ EVO
robot vacuums in the Americas moving forward starting at $349.
All iRobot Genius 4.0 software updates will be rolling out globally to
Wi-Fi-connected Roomba and Braava jet customers through the end of June 2022
with the exception of Do Not Disturb and Smart Mapping for Roomba i3 and
i3+, which are now available globally.
