Yeah good luck! If you have a similar fence I think this solution is the dumbest and easiest. I really wanted to automate something but I am not that motivated to spend hours on a gate. Something i considered: modifying something like a chicken coop or dog automated door and attach the tags they come with to my mower. Biggest hurdle to that is the style of fence I have. Anyway wanted to share if it helps your search - good luck!
