iRobot Roomba Mini Mint

The iRobot Roomba Mini Mint from iRobot 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 →

Matter Version

Matter 1.5

The iRobot Roomba Mini Mint is certified on Matter 1.5, released in November 2025. It added cameras with live video and two-way audio, closures such as garage doors, gates and awnings, and soil sensors. Devices can also share electricity prices and grid data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the iRobot Roomba Mini Mint need a smart hub?

Yes, but only a Matter controller from your platform, not a separate bridge. The iRobot Roomba Mini Mint connects straight to your home network. The controller can be an Apple home hub, a Google Nest speaker, an Amazon Echo or Home Assistant.

Does the iRobot Roomba Mini Mint work without internet?

Yes. Matter runs on your local network, so the iRobot Roomba Mini Mint keeps working when your internet goes down. Remote access, voice assistants and some iRobot cloud features may still need a working connection.

Does the iRobot Roomba Mini Mint work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant?

Yes. The iRobot Roomba Mini Mint 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.

Do I need the iRobot app to use the iRobot Roomba Mini Mint?

No. Any Matter hub can set up and control the iRobot Roomba Mini Mint without the iRobot app. Some advanced features may not be part of Matter yet, so settings like firmware updates or special modes can still require the iRobot app.

How do I set up the iRobot Roomba Mini Mint?

Open your smart home app, choose to add a device and scan the Matter QR code on the iRobot Roomba Mini Mint 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.
