Eufy Robot Vacuum (alien.top)

Greetings Community,

I recently acquired a Eufy robot vacuum and seek insights from those with firsthand experience:

Impressions on the Eufy's performance – any noteworthy observations?
While it claims Alexa compatibility, I am interested in its compatibility with other home assistant systems.
Seeking best practices for integration, particularly contemplating linking it to my 'leaving home' routine.
Can the Eufy handle navigating multiple floors if I move it up or down stairs? or is its functionality confined to a single level?

Appreciate your collective expertise on this matter. Thank you. #EufyInsights

I've had a Eufy Vac for a few years now, and I've had it connected to Alexa and Google Home. It has worked well with both, was easy to setup, and no major issues. Mine is a lower model that just bounces around randomly, so if yours is the same, it won't have any issue with moving floors. Other models map out their area, to be more efficient, so I don't know how they adapt if you move them.

Overall, I've been happy with it, and it keeps my hard floors pretty clean. I'm happy to answer any other questions I can.

amazing! so glad to hear it! This is the one I bought "BoostIQ RoboVac 15C MAX, Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum Cleaner". I'm not sure if that's similar to your model. I don't mind if it bumps around.

have you used it with any alexa routines? - I was thinking of setting it up on my goodbye routine so that it would run whenever we leave the house.

I live in a small townhouse with 3 floors, each floor is quite small but I was hoping to set it loose on the upper floor every so-often. If this is one that maps out the floor plan maybe it will have a button to re-map, or change floors its on... I guess I'll find out
