Proposed change

Updated instructions for cleaning segments with Roborock vacuum, including a reference to mapping areas in Home Assistant as introduced in the release 2026.3

I was quite confused with the current documentation as to how to use the Home Assisant vanilla cleaning area action. It is also kind of hard to clarify between the Roborock device and the vacuum entity named "Roborock" belonging to it, without its documentation being mentioned or linked in the current help page.

More information on confusion on this in the Roborock python library I used to try and find help on this Python-roborock/python-roborock#557 (comment)

  • Added documentation for a new integration I'm adding to Home Assistant (next branch).

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Roborock integration documentation to clarify how to run room/segment cleaning, including pointing readers to Home Assistant’s newer “map vacuum segments to areas” workflow.

Changes:

  • Adds a reference to mapping vacuum segments to Home Assistant areas as an alternative to manual vacuum.send_command usage.
  • Rephrases the “clean a specific room” instructions to include the new approach alongside the existing app_segment_clean example.
