The Ecovacs X8 Pro Omni supports Matter and has better mopping power

We're finally getting robot vacuums that support a wider array of ecosystems. The new Ecovacs X Series has finally launched, and it not only offers support for Apple HomeKit but also for Matter, the universal smart home standard that allows the vacuum to work with any major smart home platform.

Easily the most interesting model in that lineup, however, is the X8 Pro Omni. This is the flagship vacuum in the Ecovacs X series, and it goes far beyond simply offering Matter and Apple HomeKit control.
