Not the Saros 20 already on this site — the 10R is the earlier (early-2025) ultra-slim flagship that pioneered the same 79.8mm AdaptiLift chassis trick, just with noticeably less muscle: 22,000Pa suction versus the 20's 36,000Pa, and a shallower 4cm threshold climb against the 20's 3.46in lift. Its HA support is the more settled of the two — the local-connection crash that briefly made new units go 'unavailable' (home-assistant/core#148815) was patched in a python-roborock library bump back in September 2025, so you're not chasing an open bug like current Saros 20 buyers are. The real catch is UK retail: Roborock's own UK store has dropped the 10R from its lineup entirely (only Saros 10 and Saros 20 remain), leaving Amazon UK third-party sellers as the only route in at a noticeable premium over US pricing. Worth it for the slim-body design at a lower outlay than the 20 if 22,000Pa is enough suction for your floors — otherwise the Saros 20 or S8 MaxV Ultra are the better UK-backed buys.
What can Home Assistant control on the Roborock Saros 10R?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum | Vacuum | Start/pause/stop/dock, fan speed and mop intensity selects |
| Battery Level | Sensor (%) | Current battery percentage |
| Cleaning Area / Time | Sensor | Area cleaned and duration for the current or last run |
| Mop Attached | Binary sensor | Whether the mop module is currently docked to the robot |
| Water Shortage | Binary sensor | Alerts when the mop water tank needs refilling |
| Live Map | Image | Rendered floor map with room boundaries (cloud-dependent) |
The core roborock integration (home-assistant.io/integrations/roborock) lists the Saros series as fully supported and exposes a vacuum entity (start/pause/stop/dock plus fan-speed and mop-intensity selects), sensors for battery, cleaning area/time and consumable life, binary sensors for mop-attached and water-shortage, and a live map image entity — polled locally roughly every 30 seconds with cloud fallback used for setup, routines and map rendering. Early Saros 10R units hit a device-specific bug (home-assistant/core#148815): local commands failed to decrypt ('Failed to decode...Padding is incorrect'), forcing the integration onto the rate-limited cloud API and eventually marking the device unavailable — fixed by bumping the python-roborock dependency to 2.47.1 (PR #152844, merged September 2025), so units set up on a current HA release shouldn't hit it. There's no dedicated vacuum-only/mop-only select exposed in the entity list; the documented workaround on community.home-assistant.io is to call vacuum.send_command with mop_power/water_box parameters first, then a separate vacuum.start action, since the app's combined 'cleaning mode' picker doesn't map to one HA control. Separately, Roborock shipped a Matter 1.4 firmware update for the Saros 10R in April 2025 (originally for Apple Home/HomeKit pairing), and the same Matter endpoint can be added to Home Assistant's native Matter integration alongside — not instead of — the roborock integration above: it exposes only the standard Matter robotic-vacuum clusters (run-mode/operational-state), giving a locally-pushed docked/cleaning/paused/error state plus basic start/pause/stop/return-to-dock, with no room or zone targeting and no map — those still require the cloud-backed roborock entity described above.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the Roborock Saros 10R work with Home Assistant locally?
- Partly. The Roborock Saros 10R connects to Home Assistant through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (roborock), which relies on the Roborock cloud. It works in Home Assistant, but commands go via the internet and stop working during an outage of your connection or the Roborock service.
- Which protocol does the Roborock Saros 10R use, and do I need a hub?
- The Roborock Saros 10R uses Wi-Fi and Matter. To pair it with Home Assistant you need no hub — it joins your Wi-Fi network directly; or a Thread border router if it is Matter-over-Thread, or just your Wi-Fi network if it is Matter-over-Wi-Fi. Roborock's own hub is not required when you integrate through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (roborock).
- How much does the Roborock Saros 10R cost in the UK?
- The lowest price we have listed for the Roborock Saros 10R is £793.43 at Senetic UK, with other UK retailers at up to £1393.59. Prices were last checked in September 2026 and change often, so confirm on the retailer's page before buying.
