No official API is available for this device (i asked support), but i found an unofficial API client written in Ruby:

There are also implementations in these languages:
- PHP https://github.com/tomrosenback/botvac (Tom Rosenback)
- Python https://github.com/stianaske/pybotvac (Stian Askeland)

I might be able to get a app working for this device by looking at the Thinking Cleaner app but an official API with some developer documentation would really help me with this.

Seems like it has been added to amazons alexa, so it might be worth asking them again

Would anyone have the time, enthusiasm and skills to bake an app for our beloved vacuum robots? Would highly appreciate it and could and would help where ever I can.

In the meantime, you are able to install this app via de command-line prompt: see the instructions / youtube video in the following post: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/1448/how-to-cli-install-method
Thanks! And congratulations with your newborn! Enjoy.
@TedTolboom - thank you for the instructions.
I'll try to get the app as-is on the store some time this week if @MarkSwift is fine with. It won't be pretty but at least you'll be able to click and install :P
I have Google Home, but the integration isn’t good enough. You have to tell Google to talk to Neato Robot. Automation with IFTTT and Homey seems like a good idea.
