Roomba 205 DustCompactor Combo works with Alexa and Google Assistant-enabled devices, according to iRobot, which also mentions Siri, though that is voice control only. It vacuums, mops or does both, and maps with ClearView LiDAR (up to 3 maps). There is no self-emptying dock: it compacts debris onboard, which iRobot says lasts up to 60 days. No Matter support turned up.
