title: Vacuums and lawn mowers
description: Start, pause and dock vacuums and lawn mowers, and clean areas.

## Vacuums

```bash
ha-bridge vacuum start robo
ha-bridge vacuum pause robo
ha-bridge vacuum start-pause robo
ha-bridge vacuum stop robo
ha-bridge vacuum return-to-base robo
ha-bridge vacuum locate robo
ha-bridge vacuum clean-spot robo
ha-bridge vacuum fan-speed max robo
```

`clean-area` cleans Home Assistant areas, by area ID, that are mapped to the vacuum's segments:

```bash
ha-bridge vacuum clean-area robo --clean-area kitchen --clean-area hallway
```

`send-command` sends a raw command the integration understands, with optional JSON `--params`:

```bash
ha-bridge vacuum send-command app_goto_target robo --params '[25500,25500]'
```

## Lawn mowers

```bash
ha-bridge lawn_mower start front
ha-bridge lawn_mower pause front
ha-bridge lawn_mower stop front
ha-bridge lawn_mower dock front
```

`stop` cancels the current task. A mower that has stopped, and is neither docked nor paused, reports `idle`.
