SmartThings menu with Samsung robot vacuum

When it’s time to clean the house, you can leave the task of vacuuming to your Samsung Jet Bot, Jet Bot+, or Jet Bot AI+ Robot Vacuum. Not only will it clean your hardwood, tile, and carpeted floors, its AI sensors will avoid obstacles around your home as well, such as furniture. Plus, when your Jet Bot is connected to the SmartThings app on your phone, you can select various functions and settings that will make cleaning your home even easier.
