Roborock, one of the largest manufacturers of home robotics, has released a firmware update to improve support for the Matter protocol across several of its high-end robot vacuum models.

The Matter protocol, developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), is a universal smart home standard designed to enable seamless integration between devices from different brands and platforms.

Matter-Compatible Roborock Devices & Firmware Update Details

The following Roborock models will receive a firmware update between 1–10 April 2025 (US time). This update will significantly expand Matter protocol support, improving device integration and user experience. The exact timing will vary by time zone, so users should expect the update to arrive within this period. The models receiving Matter functionality in early April are:

Device Model	Matter FW Version
Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra	02.37.88
Roborock Saros Z70	02.40.92
Roborock Saros 10	02.32.44
Roborock Saros 10R	02.32.44
Roborock Qrevo Curv	02.26.02
Roborock Qrevo Edge	02.26.02
Roborock Qrevo Master	02.27.40

As of writing this article, some S8 MaxV Ultra users have the latest firmware update but are reporting that no option to generate a Matter code or otherwise add the vacuum to any Matter platform seems to exists, although we’ve managed to get this elusive option and since been able to add it to Apple Home (see screenshots below). Hopefully this will be resolved via a forthcoming app update.

Owners of Matter-compatible Roborock devices, including the latest Saros series, will benefit from improved connectivity with platforms such as Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa, making smart home integration more seamless and responsive.

From today, users can control compatible Roborock robot vacuums via the Home app on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod, or Mac, provided they are running the latest firmware.

Note that Matter-related features may vary depending on both the Roborock device and the smart home platform in use. Roborock will continue to update its Matter-supporting firmware to enhance compatibility across major platforms.

Roborock remains committed to expanding Matter support across its product range. In the coming weeks and months, the company will extend compatibility to the Roborock S8 Max Ultra and Qrevo Slim, with further models to follow.

For users of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, which is certified to work with Apple Home, the vacuum can be integrated into the Home app and be included in custom automations – for example, scheduling a daily living room clean at 2 p.m. Users can also control it hands-free by asking Siri to “clean the kitchen.” The S8 MaxV Ultra is available on Amazon.com now.
