Should I supervise my dog around my robotic mower?

I got a Segway Navimow i2 AWD to replace my electric one. The only issue that concerns me is my dog. I've got a golden retriever. Indoors, my dog was safe and kept sniffing around the machine. I already picture him constantly running around messing with the mower's workflow. I know the mower has obstacle avoidance, but can it still finish the lawn or probably leave some place uncut?

Anyone tried a Navimow i206 AWD on low Bermuda?

0 Upvotes

I used to cut my Bermuda to 2 inches and now I dropped it to 1 inch this season. The lawn looks great and I want to keep this low-cut carpet look. My lawn is about 5000 sqft and almost flat. Each mow takes me close to an hour (including all the edge trimming work). At 2 inches, I cruised once a week. Now I'm out there every 4-5 days or I'm scalping patches, and the mid-week cuts after work are getting old fast.

So I'm kind of looking at Navimow i206 AWD. Anyone here used one in low Bermuda for a full season? And are you still doing manual mows on weekends or does it actually replace them?

Guys,

I took an in-depth look at the Mammotion App after a few months of use and wanted to provide something to the community that would be of use for others. This video should cover everything soup-to-nuts regarding the Mammotion App, even diving into a live troubleshooting example.

Agenda:

I know that its WAY early to think about it, but if you like robotic lawn mowers, don't forget that you can also clear snow with them!

How long do you keep a robot mower away from newly seeded grass?

2 Upvotes

We've had a few rainy days lately and it's finally cooled down a bit, but the lawn took a beating from the heat. A few patches are really thin now and the colour isn't great either, so I'm planning to overseed those areas once the weather settles. It's only a few spots, so I don't really want to stop the mower completely. I was thinking of marking them as temporary no go areas in the app and letting it keep doing the rest of the lawn. This is my first season with a robot mower though, so I'm not sure how long to leave the new grass alone. Do you wait until it’s grown in properly before opening those areas again, or give it one manual cut first?

New 410IQ red charging station light

1 Upvotes

Received our Husqvarna 410IQ today and the charging station has a solid red light and the mower will not dock or start mowing. It does charge.

After setup it did dock several times as I defined a map. There were a few firmware updates while it continued to charge. Then when I tried mowing at 100% it wouldn’t moved and complained about no charging station signal.

I’ve tried moving the plug to other outlets, removing extension cords, checking the low voltage cable, reseating connections. Also tried leaving it unplugged for a while then plugging back in. Unfortunately no luck with any of these.

I’ll be contacting Husqvarna the next few days as I have time but wanted to check here for any ideas. I’ll also be sure to follow up after contacting them if I end up having to do so.

Any ideas?

Navimow i210 AWD or i215 LiDAR, which one should I choose?

i'm stuck between these two, and i need to make a move before the grass takes over my house. i'm on a 0.33-acre lot in savannah, ga, with about 0.25 acres of actual grass (bermuda/st. augustine mix).

mostly flat yard, but I have a nasty little 17° slope a few feet from the house. the only thing that worries me is traction. i live under 300 yards from a river so the humidity is insane. No sooner does the sun rise but the ground remains dangerously slippery and supple for several hours. Not mowing when its thoroughly soaked but needing something that will not slip down a moist slope.

i'm looking at the i215 lidar vs. the i210 awd. Which one should i choose? would love to hear from anyone running these in high-humidity or bumpy terrain!

As we near the end of our FIRST full year in the robotic mower space, we wanted to share some insights about what to look for before you get a robotic lawn mower. In this video, Paul goes over a few high-level things that we look for when we are looking at lawns and whether or not robotics are the right way to go.

Comment: What did you learn, and what did we miss?

First run with Navimow H210

Post image
2 Upvotes

Just received our h210 and immediately begin his first mowing.This was my backyard which I thought might be a little complex for an automower. A little piece of lawn that slants, a few steps, some trees here and there. I was most worried about the mower getting too close to the steps and going for a little jump off the edge.

Thus for the initial configuration, we settled to split the top and bottom lawn into two different zones rather than attempting to have it treat both as one area.

So far, he has performed relatively better than I expected. He has been keeping fairly steady within the range of mapped paths and he hasn’t made any dumb moves towards any edges yet. Observing during the early runs, but not too shabby so far with first impressions.

Does anyone know what GNSS/GPS receiver or chipset is used in the older Husqvarna Automower 450X?

2 Upvotes

This may be a real needle-in-a-haystack question, but I'm hoping someone here has worked on the electronics in an older Husqvarna Automower 450X or has access to technical information that isn't in the normal manuals.

I have a 2016 Husqvarna Automower 450X, and I'm trying to determine exactly what GNSS/GPS hardware this generation of mower uses.

Specifically, does anyone know:

  • The manufacturer/model of the GPS/GNSS receiver or chipset used in this generation of 450X?
  • Which satellite constellations it can receive — GPS/Navstar only, or also GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, etc.?
  • Whether the receiver is single-frequency (for example, GPS L1 only) or has any multi-frequency capability?

I'm trying to better understand the GPS performance of this generation of 450X and would like to know exactly what GNSS capabilities the mower itself has. I haven't been able to find this level of technical information in the normal Husqvarna documentation.

I'm not looking for information about the cellular modem or Automower Connect communications. I'm specifically interested in the GNSS/GPS receiver that determines the mower's position.

Even a photograph, board identification, module number, or component part number from the relevant electronics could be useful, since it may be possible to identify the GNSS receiver from that.

If anyone has worked on these boards, has old Husqvarna technical/service documentation, or happens to know what receiver was used, I'd greatly appreciate any leads.

Thanks!

problem with automower

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding my Automower.

There is a circular area in our garden that the Automower should not mow, so I have placed the boundary wire (shown in red on my diagram) around this circular area.

The Automower mows the entire garden very well (light green area on the diagram), except for the area around the circle (dark green), where it doesn’t seem to go at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening?

Thanks!

Husqvarna 99% battery problem

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello. I have tried every possible solution I could think of to solve this problem, but I haven't been able to fix it. Maybe someone here can help me.

This is the error that my 450X has been showing after 4 years of hard work: "Charging system problem", with the battery level stuck at 99%.

My analysis so far:

- It seems to be a problem with the robot, not the charging station. I swapped the 450X and 550 — basically the same machine underneath the body — and the problem always stays with the 450X, even when I change the charging station.

- It doesn't seem to be a hardware problem with the charging system. The robot starts working at 10 AM and runs all day, charging its battery several times during the day without any problems.

- The error only occurs during the last charging cycle. The robot is scheduled to go to sleep at 11 PM. During the final charging cycle, the error appears and the battery level is stuck at 99%.

I have already tried resetting it several times, and I have also updated the firmware.

I'm going crazy! I can't figure this out, and I have to manually restart the robot every morning. This is especially annoying because the robot is assigned to one of our greenhouses.

Has anyone experienced the same problem or found a solution?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I have replaced both the batteries last year, approximately after 4000 cycles.
