How to Use MOVA's Built-In Voice Assistant and Its Commands

MOVA's built-in voice assistant lets owners start cleaning, send their robot vacuum to specific rooms and control maintenance functions without opening the MOVAhome app.

The assistant responds to "Hey, MOVA" and supports commands for cleaning, navigation and dock maintenance on compatible models.

What Voice Commands Does MOVA Support?

MOVA's voice assistant supports the following functions.

• Start cleaning
• Pause cleaning
• Resume cleaning
• Return to the base
• Clean a specific room
• Clean a zone
• Change cleaning modes and settings
• Wash the mop
• Dry the mop
• Empty the dustbin
• Call or find the robot
• Come to your location and clean

These are supported functions rather than a complete list of exact spoken phrases. Available commands may vary by model and firmware version.

Owners can find their robot's recognized commands under Voice Assistant in the MOVAhome app.

Which MOVA Models Support the Built-In Voice Assistant?

MOVA offers built-in voice control across several generations of robot vacuums.

The following U.S. models have built-in voice assistance documented by MOVA.

P Series

• MOVA P10 Ultra
• MOVA P10 Pro Ultra
• MOVA P10 Pro Ultra Gen2
• MOVA P50 Pro Ultra

V Series

• MOVA V50 Ultra Complete

Z Series

• MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller SA
• MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete
• MOVA Z70 Ultra Roller Complete

Other Models

• MOVA MOBIUS 60

MOVA's specifications also advertise voice-control features on additional models, but not every product page clearly distinguishes built-in voice recognition from Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri integration.

Owners should verify their exact model's specifications before assuming it supports the built-in assistant. This list covers models confirmed in MOVA's documentation and may not include every regional version or newly released model.

How to Activate MOVA's Voice Assistant

Before using voice commands, the robot must be powered on and set up in MOVAhome.

1. Download MOVAhome from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
2. Add your robot and follow the setup instructions to connect it to Wi-Fi.
3. Open the robot's settings and find Voice Assistant.
4. Enable the feature if necessary.
5. Complete the initial mapping process for room-specific cleaning commands.

Once enabled, say "Hey, MOVA" followed by a supported instruction.

For example, "Hey, MOVA, start cleaning" tells the robot to begin cleaning without opening the app.

Unlike Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, MOVA's built-in voice assistant doesn't require a separate smart speaker.

Tell MOVA to Come to You and Clean

One of MOVA's more interesting voice features allows compatible robots to locate the person speaking and clean nearby.

By saying "Hey, MOVA, clean up here," owners can request a cleanup near their current location instead of selecting a room or drawing a zone in MOVAhome.

The robot attempts to locate the speaker and navigate to the surrounding area.

This can be convenient for cleaning crumbs or small messes without starting a whole-home cleaning session.

The feature's availability and reliability depend on the model and its ability to locate the person speaking.

Cleaning Specific Rooms and Areas

MOVA also supports room-specific cleaning commands.

For example, "Hey, MOVA, clean the kitchen" directs a compatible robot to clean that room rather than the entire house.

The robot must have a completed map with correctly identified rooms. Room divisions and names can be adjusted in MOVAhome.

Zone cleaning is another option for targeting smaller areas, although supported voice instructions may differ from room-cleaning commands.

Changing Cleaning Modes and Settings

The assistant can adjust supported cleaning settings, including switching between vacuuming and mopping functions.

MOVA support has documented commands such as "Hey, MOVA, start vacuuming."

However, not every robot recognizes complex instructions that combine a specific room with a cleaning mode.

For example, a request to vacuum an office without mopping may not produce the same result as selecting vacuum-only mode in the app.

Available settings depend on the model's hardware and software.

Controlling Dock Maintenance

MOVA's voice assistant also supports maintenance functions on compatible models, including mop washing, mop drying and automatic dust emptying.

These operations require a dock equipped with the corresponding hardware.

Voice control provides another way to request maintenance tasks that the base station normally handles automatically.

What If MOVA Doesn't Understand a Command?

If the robot doesn't respond, check that the voice assistant is enabled and the robot is powered on.

Try moving closer, reducing background noise and using a shorter command.

If the robot recognizes the wake phrase but doesn't perform the requested task, check the voice-command list in MOVAhome for the correct wording.

Room-specific cleaning requires a completed map, while maintenance functions depend on the robot's dock and software.

Owners should also keep their firmware updated. The MOVAhome app remains necessary for mapping, scheduling and more detailed cleaning adjustments.
