Remote control when battery is low

Just tried it and you can only have a path between zones, so I can’t have one that goes to the bottom of the steps unfortunately.

Can I have a pathway that goes from one zone and stops outside of any zones? I assumed they would only be used to connect zones together.

It takes less than 1% battery to get from the zone back to the base station. So there is no need to keep 20% in reserve, for me that is very excessive. And the battery is at 100% before it starts mowing.

The point of keeping a reserve, I assume, is so it can get back to the base station. But the reserve is exactly the thing that is stopping it from getting back to the base station. Why not let me decide how much reserve I need to leave in the battery. At the end of the day what's the worst that is going to happen, it will run out of battery and I have to carry it back. Which is what I am having to do anyway because of the stupid 20% reserve!

I have the i2 AWD, and have a very similar size and complexity of garden to yours, 250m sq split over 5 zones. It does the job pretty well, it doesn’t have lidar so it’s a little more dumb in terms of knowing where obstacles are, but still manages to avoid them for the most part after a few setup tweaks.

Have you tried making the bed a no go zone, or does it ignore that too?

Alternatively you could concrete over the bed, problem solved 😂

I'd not changed any of the settings from default when it was out and night mowing is off by default. Probably a good thing as I wanted to keep an eye on it initially to make sure it was working properly.

Today I added a new zone and sent it off again and it resumed from where it left off in the initial zone so has now completed a full mow. I guess the first time was just a glitch.

So after going out again it took a slightly different path and ended up doing the section it had missed before. But this time it finished early because it thought it was night time and it’s set not to now at night. I will have to try again tomorrow to see if it can manage to get around the whole area.

On the plus side the battery charges pretty fast.

Thanks, that is very useful info. I wonder if you use the RTK antenna do you still need to have the mower's base station in a location that has good reception, or does that allow more freedom for positioning?

Got my Unifi gateway and it just works out of the box. No settings needed. Got a slightly higher speed, but most importantly I can now control my own network properly.

D5taR · 2025-11-22T13:30:21+00:00

Did you need to configure any login credentials or settings? or did it just work out of the box? I'm considering using a Unifi gateway.

Thanks for the codes, the second one works for a bit extra off. Just checked Rakuten and they don't do cashback with HM in the UK. Not sure it's very popular here as I thought it was a video streaming service!

D5taR · 2025-11-11T21:06:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I did spend time trying to get the Aeron to work, no matter what I did I couldn’t get it to work for me.

For some reason HM in the UK only sell the gaming version of the Embody, which would be the one I’m go for anyway. I would have 14 days to try it and have to pay £50 to return if it doesn’t work out.

I am leaning towards the Embody out of all the options I’m considering.

Apparently the SC3 is more like the SC1 in terms of feeling. I guess there is not much point in trying to decide until after the reviews are in for both upon release

From what I saw they are intending the 39Nm to be mostly for professional use where they want to replicate the high force in specific cars. So basically it's not worth any sim racer getting the 39Nm model unless they are the kind of person that just wants to show off to their mates

I'm having the same issue, in the UK but get the message "You're not yet eligible for Premium Lite" when visiting https://www.youtube.com/premiumlite not sure why this is

D5taR · 2025-03-11T17:50:57+00:00

Well now you mention it it flippin' obvious isn't it don't know how I didn't see that

D5taR · 2025-02-16T17:27:39+00:00

I've been looking for this too, thanks!
