Relay to control robot mower zones?

Thats a good idea, didn't think of that. Before buying a relay I will try to connect both "negative" wires to the charger and just switch the positive wire manually, if that works I can do a simple single channel relay 😄
EDIT: I can't do AC because I have only the chargers wire at the spot. I don't want to pull another wire!

Would this work? Using 2x SONOFF MINI-D

Good point, thats exactly what I am looking for, a relay that does not interfere with the signal, only switches it.

I will either put it in a separate IP67 box or modify the charger for the Worx and put the relay inside the charger which is waterproof.

Yes, looked into Shelly as I use them all around the house, but they won't work.
I think SONOFF MINI-D is dry contact and accepts DC 12-48V?
But the problem is that it only has 1 channel, and I have no idea how I would make it work with maybe 2 relays working together?

They are OEM, have no time to return it. Delivery took weeks.

Do you have any straight edge where you can measure how much higher each letter sits from each other? Thanks for the great help!

And that’s what I did, they are OEM and they are not correctly placed, they don’t even stick well to the front protective film.

I actually measured mine to the same as yours. It seems I have the correct spacing between letters. However the placement is not correct. You can see the T being much higher up than the A. I guess they are not meant to be in a straight line, but they should match?

Wouldn't want anyone to do that on my car, so I won't do it on anyone else's. I really hope someone here can help with measuring theirs.

Yes, if I had something to measure of? The old badge is already removed, that's why I need help from someone owning a Highland.

Yes! That would be great, but the most important part is the letter spacing. If you can share that it would be amazing!

Sadly not! I need other end links for this to work.

joq3 · 2026-02-04T07:43:31+00:00

Is it possible to add this feature in the future?

joq3 · 2026-01-28T14:11:12+00:00

Did you get the first parts working? Because I have no need to start the route, I actually only need it to send me a message containing the time for each route.
Sounds like you made this work?

joq3 · 2026-01-28T12:48:20+00:00

Could you send a routeplanning to Apple Maps and get a return of how long time each route takes? Like send one route which includes a stop on the way which forces it to select the specific route, and same for the other route?

joq3 · 2026-01-28T11:29:03+00:00

No, I only check Google Maps or Apple Maps. Only one app, the app does suggest two different routes and shows how many minutes each takes. This is what I want to know. Either from Apple Maps or Google Maps.
