What Controls Are Available to Tapo Vacuums via Matter?

Tapo Robot Vacuums and Matter Compatibility (RV30Max Series)

Last week, we saw the very first updates go out adding Matter Compatibility to our RV30Max series of vacuums.

As these are our first models of vacuums (or any already-released device) updated to support Matter, our team appreciates any feedback or experiences you have with the feature.
 

Just as you are, our team is exploring what is possible with this feature – and we would be more than happy to talk to our development and product teams for more information or details.

What is the Process for Matter Configuration?

• After configuring in the Tapo App, you can find the Matter Setup Code in Device Settings > Robot Vacuum Information
• Scan the Pairing QR Code or Copy the Text Code for Use During the Matter Setup Process.

Every platform will provide their own set of controls to Robot Vacuums, however the core features provided relate to:

• The vacuums docking state,
• Starting whole home cleaning, and
• Adjusting the cleaning mode (power) of the vacuum/mop functions.
