Start iRobot cleaning when you leave home
How this automation works
Automate your cleaning routine by starting your iRobot Roomba when a new app matching your chosen keyword appears in the Apple App Store. This Applet runs each time a new app is listed in the App Store search results for your selected term, then it triggers your robot to start cleaning. Perfect for smart home enthusiasts who want to mix digital discovery with real-world automation.
