This needs to be implemented with backwards compatibility otherwhise it will break the integration for those are still using an older version of HA.

You will get VacuumEntityFeature.CLEAN_AREA is not defined error and integration won't work.

Good point, but maybe bumping the minimum HA version is a better solution?

That would be a very bad practice especially support for clean area haven't been released by HA yet.

I would be very happy to see this implemented because I currently have a complicated workaround for this including a mapping of segments to room names, and having this natively in HA would be so much better...

Could this work?

from homeassistant.components.vacuum import (
    StateVacuumEntity,
    VacuumEntityFeature,
    ENTITY_ID_FORMAT,
)

try:
    from homeassistant.components.vacuum import Segment
except ImportError:
    # Fallback 
    from dataclasses import dataclass
    @dataclass
    class Segment:
        id: str
        name: str | None = None
        group: str | None = None

SUPPORT_CLEAN_AREA = getattr(VacuumEntityFeature, "CLEAN_AREA", 0)

Hi @Tasshack - friendly bump on this PR.

The two blockers you raised have both been resolved:

1. "clean_area hasn't been released by HA yet" -> HA 2026.3 is out, VacuumEntityFeature.CLEAN_AREA is officially shipped.
2. Backwards compatibility -> @olskar already suggested a concrete solution with try/except import + getattr fallback.

At this point it would be great to get a clear signal: is this good to merge as-is, does it need the compatibility wrapper applied, or is there something else blocking? Several people (including issues like #1498) are waiting on this. Thanks!

Hey, great to see that clean area support is on the way. As HA already released the clean_area feature, I would like to see the feature go live asap.

Code looks good and implements all required HA 2026.3 vacuum.clean_area functionality.

• CLEAN_AREA flag set properly
• async_get_segments() handles multi-map with composite IDs
• async_clean_segments() filters by selected map correctly
• check_segments_changed() + repair issue complete

Backward compatibility issue exists as noted by @Tasshack: VacuumEntityFeature.CLEAN_AREA is not defined (HA <2026.3) @arturpragacz apply @olskar's solution:

Also add some tests:*

• test_supported_features_clean_area()
• test_async_get_segments_multi_floor()
• test_async_clean_segments_selected_map()
• test_segment_change_detection()

If you need help, let me know.

I am going to merge it when new version of the integration is ready to be released.
