Aiper Scuba V3 Ultra

Aiper sells it as a cleaner and skimmer in one, with a surface pass rated at up to 8 hours per charge.

Aiper rates it for sun shelves and shallow areas down to 7.9 in (20 cm), with anti-fall sensors on the ledge.

Two front cameras give stereo depth over a 6.6 ft detection range and recognise more than 20 types of debris and obstacles.

Aiper pairs the dual cameras with an ultrasonic sensor, which is what keeps the path planning working in cloudy water and at night.

Auto Surface Retrieval brings it up at the end of the cycle and holds it at the waterline until it is lifted out, with no hook needed.

The wireless dock sits at the pool edge, so the robot parks itself at the waterline and the owner lifts it onto the dock to charge.

Separate floor, wall, waterline and surface skimming modes, a full pool mode, a shallow area mode and an AI patrol mode, among the ten the app offers.

On top of manual schedules, Cognitive AI Navium mode writes a weekly plan on its own from the cleaning history, the pool's usage and the local weather.

A remote control mode in the app lets you pilot the robot by hand while it skims the surface.

The app offers schedules and the Navium auto-planner, but no user-defined trigger and action rules and no link to other smart home devices.

The app keeps a log of past cycles, including the debris the cameras identified during the run.

MicroMesh multi-layer filtration: a 180 µm layer for leaves and twigs and a 3 µm ultra-fine layer for silt and pollen.

Aiper specifies the 3.5 L basket as top load.

Aiper documents control through its own app only, and the robot carries no Matter certification that would open a Google Home path.

The Amazon listing carries no Works with Alexa badge and Aiper claims no voice assistant support for this model.

Aiper names no Apple Home support, and with no Matter certification there is no bridge into the Home app either.

Aiper names no SmartThings support, and the robot is not Matter certified, so the automatic Works with SmartThings path does not apply.

Two community HACS integrations talk to the Aiper cloud, but the one that publishes a device list covers the Scuba S1, X1, Surfer S2 and P1 Pro, not the V3 Ultra.

No Aiper product appears in the CSA certified product search, and Aiper claims no Matter support.

Aiper lists the Scuba V3 Ultra under Robotic Pool Cleaners for In-Ground Pools, and rates it for concrete, fibreglass, vinyl and stone surfaces.

The whole Scuba line sits under Aiper's In-Ground Pools menu, and the brand keeps a separate above-ground range. Nothing on the product page or the listing rates the V3 Ultra for above-ground pools.

Aiper quotes up to 480 minutes skimming the surface. PCWorld reports about four hours submerged, where floor, wall and waterline work drains the pack faster.

A magnetic wireless dock charges the robot with nothing to plug in, so there are no exposed contacts to corrode.
