The Complete Matter Device List
The GoVac 401 is part of Dreame’s retailer exclusive GoVac lineup, sold through major US and Canadian retailers rather than on Dreame’s own website.
The Dreame GoVac 401 Robot Vacuum from Dreame connects to your smart home over Wi-Fi. It joins your existing network directly, without a Thread Border Router or extra hub, and your Matter controller reaches it through your home router.
Wi-Fi Band
Most Matter Wi-Fi devices only connect on 2.4 GHz. If your router combines 2.4 and 5 GHz under one SSID, split them to avoid issues.
Same Network
Your phone, your controller and the device must be on the same network. Guest networks and separate VLANs can block Matter.
Power Use
Wi-Fi uses more power than Thread, so most Matter over Wi-Fi devices run on mains power instead of batteries.
Every Matter device needs a Matter controller, like a smart hub, display or speaker. See all Matter hubs →
The Dreame GoVac 401 Robot Vacuum is certified on Matter 1.4, released in November 2024. It added solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, water heaters and home routers with Thread built in. It also brought energy management, easier multi-platform setup and longer battery life for sensors.
Yes, but only a Matter controller from your platform, not a separate bridge. The Dreame GoVac 401 Robot Vacuum connects straight to your home network. The controller can be an Apple home hub, a Google Nest speaker, an Amazon Echo or Home Assistant.
Yes. Matter runs on your local network, so the Dreame GoVac 401 Robot Vacuum keeps working when your internet goes down. Remote access, voice assistants and some Dreame cloud features may still need a working connection.
Yes. The Dreame GoVac 401 Robot Vacuum is Matter certified, so it works with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant, as long as the platform supports Robot Vacuum devices. Support for newer device types can differ per platform.
No. Any Matter hub can set up and control the Dreame GoVac 401 Robot Vacuum without the Dreame app. Some advanced features may not be part of Matter yet, so settings like firmware updates or special modes can still require the Dreame app.
Open your smart home app, choose to add a device and scan the Matter QR code on the Dreame GoVac 401 Robot Vacuum or its packaging. You can also type in the 11-digit Matter code instead. The app guides you through the rest. Keep the code safe, you need it again after a reset.
