    These are the robot vacuums that will work with Matter.

    Now that both Samsung and Apple have promised support for robot vacuums through Matter (Samsung SmartThings will support them this summer and Apple Home later this year), I’ve rounded up a list of robo vacs with Matter support, along with info on how they’ll work in your platform of choice.

    Get all the details in the FAQ section of my robot vacuum buying guide.

    This smart leak detector can warn you if your fish tank is draining.

    SwitchBot claims its new Water Leak Detector can not only alert you to leaks and drips but also monitor water levels, thanks to an optional immersion cable.

    This sounds handy for warning you if your fish tank is draining, your bathtub is too full, or your sump pump levels are rising. It doesn’t need a hub, works over Wi-Fi, and costs $17.99 ($19.99 with the cable).

    <em>SwitchBot claims it can detect water levels as low as 0.5mm and will sound a 100dB alarm and send an alert to your phone.</em>
    <em>The device also detects drips and works on two AAA batteries that should last 18 months.</em>
