I also have both a robovac and some smart bulbs, but my experiences differ a bit:
1) I push the clean button on my vacuum when I'm leaving the house. Wireless connectivity wouldn't add anything for me.
2) Siri actually works really nicely for bulbs because it functions locally. As a non-iPhone/HomePod user, I'm stuck with Alexa, where every bulb voice command has an obnoxious delay for communication to the Amazon mothership.
