Apple Homekit

I think that there should be a robot vacuum for the Home App. It would be useful and we can use it easily.


Working and cleaning at the same time is some times really tiring. But if there was a robot vacuum for the Home App,

there would be less work for us.


And I think the Home App does not have really much gadgets. If there were more gadgets like robot vacuums, the Home App would be usefull for all of us.
