Before you buy
No hub, and no hub route either. Everything runs through the Roomba Home app and iRobot's cloud — 3D multi-floor maps, room naming, Smart Clean prioritisation, scheduling — and the three voice services iRobot names are cloud links to that same account. There is no Matter certificate for this robot, so there is no local Matter path to a controller you own, and no bridge or hub of any brand changes that.[4][13]
Follow the recorded connection below. Equipment details and setup limits explain what else this path needs.

What you gainReach the device through the documented cloud connection.
Keep in mindCheck the function table for supported controls and routines. A connection diagram does not establish every function or remote access.
This shows the connection route, not every network cable or a shopping list. One device may provide several roles, including a Matter controller and a Thread border router. Only a Thread connection needs the Thread role. Read the equipment cards for all recorded requirements.
These paths summarize documented setup options. Check the function table for the connection covered by each recorded capability.
Siri only, and not the Apple Home app. Apple's robot-vacuum support in Home requires a Matter-certified robot vacuum, and CSA's ledger holds no certificate for this model (see the catch), so it will not appear in the Home app at all. iRobot's footnote reads 'Works with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant-enabled devices' — voice, through iRobot's cloud.[4][13]
The equipment list for this platform is not fully specified here. Use the documented setup above; an empty list does not mean no equipment is needed.

Same sentence, same footnote, same unstated scope as the Alexa cell — and one wording detail carried accurately: iRobot names 'Google Assistant', the voice service, not 'Google Home', the platform.[4][13]

Voice through iRobot's cloud account link, and the scope is unstated in writing. iRobot's example is a scheduling command — 'Vacuum the kitchen at 10:00am' — and its footnote clarifies only that this means 'Alexa-enabled devices'. Nowhere does iRobot enumerate which commands work. Maps, room naming and Smart Clean stay in the Roomba Home app.[4][13]

There is not enough model-specific evidence to draw a supported connection. Read the evidence and limits below.
Neither party has published anything about this model. iRobot's page enumerates exactly three voice services and SmartThings is not among them, which is a silence rather than a denial, and no Samsung documentation names it.[4][13]

Not established, and the two sides of the question read differently. iRobot's product page names voice assistants and only voice assistants — 'Works with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant-enabled devices.' — and Home Assistant is not one of those: a list of the assistants you can speak to says nothing about a platform you run yourself. Home Assistant's side does document an iRobot integration, and reading it is what keeps this at unknown rather than moving it up, because its supported list names older Roomba models and not this one. Nothing primary establishes this machine, in either direction.[4][12][13]
One device can provide more than one role. These are setup requirements, not a shopping list of separate purchases.

A documented control or event is one part of a setup. It does not by itself establish a complete automation.
A platform connection does not confirm every function. Controls and reported events are shown separately from what an automation can use.

? Inconclusive means we researched that ecosystem and the evidence doesn’t settle it — the catch says why, and the sources are listed below. It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.
No subscription is required and none is offered on this product page — no plan, membership or recurring fee appears, and no advertised feature is gated behind one. Worth stating explicitly rather than by omission, because iRobot is the one brand in this category that runs a recurring-fee programme at all: iRobot Select is a separate robot-plus-service membership and is not a condition of using this robot.
🔴 No Matter certificate — checked by enumerating iRobot's entire registration in CSA's ledger rather than by searching for an absence. iRobot has three models registered under its vendor ID, the Roomba Combo 10 Max, one listed simply as Roomba, and the Roomba Mini, and none is the Max 715; a known-certified control returned normally in the same check. For an Apple household that is decisive, because Apple's Home app requires a Matter-certified robot vacuum, so this robot cannot appear there at all. Second catch, cheaper but more everyday: this is a vacuum only. The dock empties it and does not wash anything.
A busy, carpeted, pet-heavy home that wants strong suction and genuine anti-tangle hardware without paying for a mop it will not use — and that is happy living in the Roomba Home app with voice as a convenience. It is the wrong pick for an Apple Home household, for anyone wanting local control that survives iRobot's cloud, or for anyone who actually wants mopping, where iRobot's own Combo models sit $100–$300 above it.
