The Husqvarna/Gardena etc. are pretty much all one design with different colors.
Checkout https://www.robonect-shop.de/ this is an add on for those devices and unlocks nice features.
Mqtt, pushover, weather etc.etc.
Definitely recommended.
Edit: the HA integration: https://github.com/geertmeersman/robonect
Interesting! For me it would make sense to install this into maybe a 2nd hand mover rather than buying a new one and hacking it.
By the way found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H32_IoSi3z8 Some people sure go all out.
Ok, this is really over the topz but I like it. Wouldn't be too hard, to open the gate when the mower engages.
Clever and nice touch of adding the drain.
No HA integration but the Luba is a fantastic robo lawnmower. It honestly does a better job than i do
Does it mow in straight lines? Those paths the Husqvarna leaves are super wonky.
I have the Husq 115h, 3rd year starting now. After it "breaks in" and everything is even, you don't see/notice that the pattern is random. You just see cut grass.
I did have to modify the unit though! I contacted vender and Husq but it didn't really go anywhere. Basically I had to cut off 2" of the "chin" in front because it kept hitting chunks of grass and triggering impact. After cutting, it works perfect. Seems like a really odd defect on their end.
Yup! You can (and should*) configure it to do a checkerboard pattern over two runs
*it does work great but sometimes misses just a little bit. Having to do two runs in a pattern makes it pretty much perfect
I want the "Segway Navimow". It's without border-cables and the price is good for this new generation.
Wow that looks really good. Availability seems to be pretty low where I live though.
Segway Navimow
I have the Husq, but this is the first I've heard of the Segway. Pricier, but looks rather interesting!
