The `neato` switch platform allows you to control your [Neato Botvac Connected](https://www.neatorobotics.com/robot-vacuum/botvac-connected-series/botvac-connected/).

This will automatically add a switch for each Botvac Connected that you have. The switch will start a full home cleaning when turned ON and return the robot to base when turned OFF.

To enable this switch in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: neato
    username: USERNAME
    password: PASSWORD
```

Configuration variables:

- **username** (*Required*): Username for the Neato account.
- **password** (*Required*): Password for the Neato account.

<p class='note'>
The Home Assistant Neato platform has only be tested with a Botvac Connected. There is no support for the Botvac D3 Connected and Botvac D5 Connected robots at this time.
