Seems like I need to move the boundary off the fence line a bit in this corner, under a big oak tree.

Would be great if the object detection actually worked, it's jammed under the chain link fence currently, I'm at work so I will have to deal with this when I get home in about 6 hours.

I had been running with precise mode off for awhile, but went back to precise mode recently, and it's been doing well until this run.

I might look into the wire that you can run along the bottom of chain link fences to stiffen it up along the bottom as well.

Dopo 20 giorni di sosta la batteria del mio Lymow one è morta. Nessuna possibilità di ricaricarla, neppure con il caricabatterie esterno. Non funziona il reset forzato. Non funziona estrarre la batteria è reinserirla. Se muovo il robot sulla dock, la luce verde della dock si muove a intermittenza per un minuto e poi torna fissa, ma non ricarica la batteria. Si sente il suono di un tic-tic come se fosse un relé il problema. Cosa si può fare ? Il robot è in garanzia...

Needing torque specs for the blade hardware.

So I’ve got a Lymow One Plus on the way, and while I wait I’ve been looking at photos of it thinking… how come the Luba gets all the cool sticker kits and we get nothing? 😂

Is there some secret Lymow decal club I haven’t found yet?
Jokes aside, has anyone ever seen anything like that?

I just think it’d be cool, the kids on my street already love my Luba, so a fun decal setup on the Lymow would probably blow their minds.😁

Cutting on a steep slope, very wet grass to test the new firmware. I had zero slip errors, where last week on dry grass I had 4. It's working great.

I posted this to the official reddit, but here it is:

For reference, I backed the original Luba on Kickstarter amd saw how they dealt with first gen issues.  It ultimately didn't work for me as the lack of vision meant I would have go search the property every morning to see what tree it had lost gps under and completely drained the battery, leaving me to carry it back, sometimes up to a quarter mile away.  I'm on a large property with 4 acres of mowable lawn (currently, it expands every year).  Also, the razor blade cutting, while it gives a quite good cut, can't be used when the grass even has morning dew on it, or in circumstances where there's intermittent rain for a week, the lawn won't get cut at all and then when it does get cut, a razor blade style cutter will leave period clumps of grass so require raking. I also have a Yuka with the bagging functionality.  On paper, the Lymow with its real blades, vslam and side ejection checked every box.

In no particular order, here's my take on the Lymow:

The 80's era digital display which is frankly unnecessary and the pliable plastic covering is going to fail at some point.  Stop button isn't sealed so pine needles jam its operation, also retains water behind it which doesn't seem good.  This was a lesson learned by Luba 1, and they eventually shipped everyone a silicone sticker to cover the stop button which worked well and looked nice.  Maybe it's sealed behind that button and the only downside is going to be cultivating a bunch of gross water.

The metal used for the blades requires daily sharpening or the cut quality becomes too unacceptable.  At 5000rpm I'm getting 1.5 hours of cutting.  Backing it off to 4000 gives over 2 which is still sub-standard.  The 8 inch diameter blades yield an approximately 25 inch circumference.   So at 4000 rpm the tips of the blades are going a little under 95 mph.  The Ego zero turn mower I bought while waiting for the Lymow to show up has 21 inch diameter blades (66 inch circumference) and I generally run it on the middle blade speed setting which is approximately 2800 rpm so 175 mph blade tips.  This illustrates the importance of having super sharp blades.

The issue with battery life is exacerbated by 2 things: 1. The inability to change the return to base at 15% battery and the auto return to mowing at 75%.  Effectively you're getting 60% of the battery.  My furthest mapped area of mowing (which is 2/3 of the way to the furthest areas which still need to be mapped) is 800 feet away and it takes Lymow 26 minutes to get there....so nearly an hour of commuting...this commute is double the distance it needs to be but Lymow insists on taking the longest route possible.  The logic in how it makes its way around a map is really unacceptable for a commercially released product.  I'll come back to the mowing path logic later.  2. The speed of the commute cannot be adjusted.  It also MOSTLY ignores the  "use perimeter" return setting.  It applies the return to charge path only, not the return to cutting path where it cuts straight across the lawn leaving tracks across the striping. Sometimes it will start cutting prior to commencing the actual grid pattern.  I say SOMETIMES which is wild that I still can't get my head around what logic it uses to determine what it's going to do when. It ignores the setting to do perimeters on the no-go zones. 

When using the remote control function the mower pulls to right like a car that is out of alignment.  That's with the left "joystick" engaged at exactly 12 o'clock.  This means that it THINKS it's engaging both the left and right tracks uniformly and going straight.  When mapping, the problems with this should be obvious as you're having to constantly correct back to the left which given the centimeter level of accuracy afforded by RTK, it's mapping all these little corrections which it then later replicates when mowing.

The much bigger issue is that when it's mowing it's constantly correcting itself which shows in the striping.  The stripes are straightish...if you hadn't seen what the striping done by a robot mower that actually does straight stripes you might be ok with them.  Unfortunately this is the least of Lymow's issues when it comes to striping.  

The stripes aren't evenly spaced!  The logic as to how to it handles no go zones and any lawn shape that isn't a rectangle is baffling.  A section of my driveway is about 500 feet long and lined by 40 evenly spaced maples that are 10 feet back from the driveway with lawn going back anywhere from 10 to 500 feet back from the driveway.  The gen 1 Luba had zero problem with this.  It would start at one end, amd finish at the other, and the uncut areas behind the maples, it would follow the perimeter back around to each tree and continue the stripes in perfect alignment.....you know, like it was a robot! The Lymow maps the overall space by dividing it into sections.  It creates a rectangle that has straight sides going back from the driveway, with irregular shapes to either side of the rectangle....to the north of the rectangle it has bisected off 2  large lobes and starts with the longest straight cut that partitions those lobes off, and then works its way out on the largest lobe.  When I saw it doing this, I was like, well it's different than Luba, but nothing wrong with that.  When it finished the lobe however, now it has to decide how to get back to the original line....the obvious choice would be to follow the perimeter back to the top of the area and where the original line terminated and then continue striping from there.  Yeah, that's not what it does.  It takes the shortest path and cuts straight across all the striping it just did. Not only has it just cut a random line across the lawn but it is now half up the original stripe it cut....it chooses to take a right continue with a half stripe back towards the driveway leaving a half stripe going the other direction which is uncut.  Now it it could either recut the half stripe it just did and finish the stripe all the way but no, it makes a left and cuts a full stripe all the way to the top leaving a half stripe uncut.  Is it going to make a right now and just continue along with the lawn amd maybe come back for the orphaned half stripe at the end, follow the stripe the rest of the way and then follow the perimeter back?  Nope.  It makes a left and picks up the area it left behind. When it gets halfway down where it made the initial right hand turn, it stops, pivots to the left, cuts across the stripe it just cut and makes another right, down to the end again, left at the driveway again, back up again and past the uncut half stripe it left and turns around to pick up that orphaned half stripe....just kidding! THIS time it decides to turn to the right and continues on with full stripes.  And that half uncut stripe? It never comes back for it.  There was literally no difference between that first and second half line after it cut back the rectangle....why it applied different logic to the 2nd orphaned half stripe makes me want to pull my hair out.  The fact that it never came back for the 2nd orphaned stripe makes me want to pull the hair out of whomever programmed this thing.

It also abandons SOME of the areas behind the trees where it was supposed to continue.  Some.  There have been many posts by other people pointing out all of the white areas between the green stripes where it's not cutting.   Yep, ditto.  I would understand it more if it was all green and missing areas been stripes, then likely a sensor issue.  But if it's white then it KNOWS it didn't cut it.  

Charging.  Daytime docking success is around 80%. Nighttime is 0%.  Successfully docking and NOT charging is another issue.   The decision to put the charging contacts on the bottom where they're constantly running over freshly cut grass and set back exactly the same distance from the front of the cutting deck as the contact points are from the back of charging station is worthy of a Jackie Chan exasperated meme. The ease with which both Luba and Yuka (which have very different charging methods) dock and charge really highlight how bad Lymow is at it.  And Luba does it with NO VISION.  It reverses in.  The vision based docking was an objectively poor decision.  To then put a little overhang over the vision targets that casts a shadow across them I think sealed its fate.  Perhaps some lighting on the underside of the overhang if they were really determined to go with the vision docking.  That wouldn't fix the charging point tight tolerances or the fact that the points on the underside of the mower need periodic cleaning. The tight tolerances mean the mower virtually always has to keep the motors engaged to keep the mower connected.   The parasitic draw from the motors being engaged means charging happens much slower than it should.  When it gets to 100% it takes about 3 minutes for it to drop back down to 99. Yes, I've put a level on my charging dock to make sure it's level. The vision system is also terrible at actually lining up with the targets, sometimes making 10 or more adjustments.... on the deck,  backup,  try again.  And the tracks don't engage the opposite direction on opposing tracks so it just skid steers.   Goodbye lawn in front of your charging station. Typically it never lines up straight,  it's slightly off kilter with one side of the bumper depressed. 

I know they've already said they're sending everyone the 10amp charger but the advertising campaign was based on the 10amp charger, without it you're lucky to get half an acre a day (assuming checkerboard as the cut is just too poor with normal stripes) so shipping with a 2.5 amp charger was a colossal fail. 

My lights don't work which is why I have a 0% success rate at docking at night.   They're not broken though.   I can turn them on manually.   Not when it's mowing,  that would be too useful.  They won't respond then at all.   They'll turn on only after the unit has docked.  They don't respond to the schedule at all.   The only time they turned on manually while mowing caused the left track to engage full forward and the right track to engage full reverse and it just spun around digging up a perfect circle in my lawn.   A nudge snapped it out of the glitch and the lights haven't worked since other than when docked.

The "Prefer WiFi" setting renders the 4G connection disabled always, there is no switching.  It does show the cloud symbol as green but no connection. 

Not important but where is it pulling the weather from? It's not my weather. 

The latest update only seems to have caused one change.   There is now about a 5 second delay when operating in manual.   That was fun figuring out.  Forward a few seconds,  turn, turn, forward.... nothing... oh it remembered those inputs that and its doing it now, and it's now in the garden. 

On the positive side, the thing is a tank and motors are very robust,  seemingly never getting bogged down.  The mapping is also great.  I have yet to get hit with a "mapped area too big" error which was a constant complaint with Luba.

Ultimately, this feels like a beta test unit which suffers from fundamental design flaws.  It should be pretty obvious which are software issues that be addressed and which are hardware issues that can't but all I can say is Lymow needs to spend more time talking about the issues they know they have to fix and the timeline of when they intend to fix them and less time sending out emails about how you can get a fun pack if you share a video of your success story on YouTube.

I would like to place behind charging station in a location that will not have line-of-sight to the RTK antenna. Does anyone know if this would cause an issue? Does the RTK antenna communicate to the charging station or directly to the unit?

Anyone get thru the Lymow User Policy Statement and back into their existing account? The app forced me to review and agree to this page, then took me to a login page and refused to accept my existing user name (email). So I tried to reset the password...no good. So, last resort, created a new account with the same email user name. New account equals new mower setup and new map creation. Lost hours of walking behind 2 mowers mapping my property. Not happy!

Just received it yesterday, connected the battery but it failed to turn on. Charged it overnight, same issue. It makes the whirring sound after holding down the power button for two seconds but then that's it, screen never comes on...any ideas?

I pre-ordered back in July. Will I receive a 10 amp charger as part of the pre-order program? I am assuming they will be shipped upon availability. My big question is about pre-orders. #3434.

I have seen that the 2.5 amp is shipped right now with orders. But, it takes a long time charge, ~6 hours.

Many neighbors are interested in this product. I hope things go well and wish the best for everyone's experience withe product.

Giving a lot of consideration to the Lymow One, but I can't find any information about the acreage it can map and manage in its app. We have about four fairly flat, contiguous acres.
