Roomba vacuum cleaners just made a new friend: Amazon Alexa.

iRobot, the company behind Roomba, on Wednesday announced(Opens in a new window) that its robotic vacuum cleaner now plays nice with Amazon’s virtual assistant, which powers the company’s Echo speakers. This means, if you have an Alexa-enabled device plus a Roomba, you can now start, stop, and pause cleaning jobs with simple voice activated commands like “Alexa, ask Roomba to begin cleaning.”

The new Alexa skill for Roomba vacuuming robots will be available in the US in the second quarter of the year, iRobot said. This feature will work with any connected Roomba vacuum, such as the Roomba 900 Series.

You can also now learn more about cleaning jobs via the iRobot Home app for iOS and Android devices. A new Clean Map feature will show you where the Roomba 900 Series cleaned up, how long it spent on the job, and which areas of your floor were the dirtiest. These “post-cleaning reports” will be available in the History tab of the app. Plus, the app will also now send you push notifications when the robot is finished cleaning.

Meanwhile, if you have an Amazon Echo device, you might be excited to hear that it can now connect to any Bluetooth speaker, according to Pocket Lint(Opens in a new window). Previously, this feature was only available on the smaller Echo Dot ($39.99 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) . As the site points out, this will let you stream music from a speaker with better audio quality than Echo while still taking advantage of the voice control features and other capabilities Alexa offers.
