The model carries no Matter certification, MOVA has no product in Apple's Works with Apple Home accessory list, and the manual documents no HomeKit setup, so there is no Apple Home path

Narwal names only Alexa, Google and Siri for this model, Siri running through the Narwal app rather than the Home app, and the robot carries no Matter certification that would open an Apple Home path

A keyword search for MOVA in the CSA certified products database returns no entries, and MOVA claims no Matter support for this model

A search of the CSA certified product database returns only the Narwal Flow and Flow 2, not this model

Without Matter certification the automatic Works with SmartThings path does not apply, and MOVA publishes no SmartThings account linking for its robot vacuums

The model is not Matter certified, so it gets no automatic Works with SmartThings path, and Narwal documents no SmartThings account linking

The base station performs an automatic solution refill from a 600 ml dispenser during cleaning

The station meters detergent from its own reservoir into the mop water, and the app decides whether to add it

Hot air drying at 63 °C (145 °F) circulates warm air over the roller to prevent mildew and odors

Warm air drying at 40 C (104 F) after the last mopping run

The roller mop lifts 14 mm on carpet detection, and lifts again with the side brush when a job is set to vacuum only

Lifts the mop pads 12 mm when it detects carpet

Four-tier hot wash system in the base station with ambient, 45 °C, 60 °C and 80 °C (176 °F) water settings, plus a self-cleaning washboard
