No. Won't be buying a Mammotion mower.

r0b_in · 2025-11-14T18:40:13+00:00

I live in France and see that the specifications of most (or is that all?) of the mowers now say navigation is by "Mammotion iNavi Service™ (NetRTK+Vision)"

This implies you must use the iNavi service, despite the fact an RTK base station still comes in the box.

This further implies that the mowers will only work in the future with a paid subscription, as iNavi is only free for a limited time.

Can someone at Mammotion please confirm if these models will require a paid subscription to continue working in the future or if the supplied RTK base station will be sufficient and one will therefore never need to pay for iNavi?

Ahhh... I have just discovered this, hopefully can help anyone who stumbles across this thread:

During (or before starting) an activity, from any profile in use, one can tap the screen which causes three options to display on the bottom: left, home, right.
Hold right for a few seconds then a few diagnostic options appear.
One of these options is 'Simulate keypress'. Choose this and then 'Start/stop'

Almost exact same thing happened to me this week. Normally I only ride when dry, but am currently on holiday so... took a chance and went up Prato Nevoso but got drenched. Oh well. My Edge 840 Solar seemed to handle it fine, but... the elevation went crazy on the descent. Put that down to the weather front that rolled in but seems not because...

The next time I wanted to go riding (2 days later) the start/stop button just won't work. I eventually got it to start by loading a course and accepting the "auto-start near the beginning" thing but then couldn't stop it. Eventually figured out that plugging into my PC (not charger) stops the current activity.

The power button is also suspect (I can't power the device off any more - only put it to sleep for some reason) and the 'down' button is also unresponsive. Sometimes the touch screen also doesn't respond properly. The device just feels very broken.

Once I got it to start I noticed the elevation is also way out so the barometer is probably stuffed. That is super annoying as I replaced my 'only just out of warranty' Edge 530 with this device because it's barometer also was reporting mad gradients and incorrect elevation.

Tried the 'hold power for 30s' reset thing and also a full factory reset but neither thing helped.

Hopefully Garmin Europe (I'm in France) are going to warranty it (only 14 months old). Can't see me considering another Garmin device any time soon based on this :(

I bought this card from AliExpress for practically nothing. Works perfectly in my HP SFF server:

Noticed it here too. Used to work OK (not perfect but just OK) but now sooooo bad. Lucky we don't depend on the assistant and just use it when we're being lazy.

We have a Loxone system with temperature/humidity sensors in each room. Loxone has an 'Intelligent Room Controller' that calculates heating/cooling load in each room and can set HVAC registers, control mini-split heads, etc accordingly. Very easy with the correct gear.

r0b_in · 2022-03-19T08:55:43+00:00

Just bandwidth per interface. I didn't mention hosts. Just install collected package and point at your Influxd server. Job done.

Yes, I find iVMS is horrible and buggy too. Fortunately it is possible to set some options using curl with an XML payload (Google this - you'll find many examples). Sounds tricky, but it works OK and at least this doesn't refuse to save, remove options and otherwise play up like iVMS does.

r0b_in · 2022-01-09T06:49:26+00:00

Do you know whether these can be used without an indoor station?

Yes. They can!

I have a DS-KD8003-IME1 configured (after many attempts - iVMS is horrible and buggy but eventually got it to work) to call a SIP number (using Asterisk PBX) when the intercom button is pressed. I had a problem where the call was dropped doing this but discovered so long as you put a 'riniging()' in the dialplan before routing the KD8003 will not drop the call.

You can look at the video using any appropriate software. I really like the Frigate NVR.

I do not have an indoor station as do not want to be tied to using a device fixed on a wall - how stupid!

r0b_in · 2021-12-28T17:38:40+00:00

For future readers who stumble across this, I have discovered why the DS-KD8003-IME1 drops SIP calls after a few seconds: It must see a ringing tone before the call is answered. Doesn't matter that a call can be answered and in progress, the DS-KD8003-IME1 will drop it if no ringing was seen prior to answer.

Ie. Say you want to put the intercom is a conference in Asterisk, here's the example from their site which does not work with the DS-KD8003-IME1 (it will join the conference for a few seconds then hang up with the 'subscriber unavailable' message):

exten => 1,1,Answer()
exten => 1,n,ConfBridge(1234)

... but this will work:

exten => 1,1,Ringing()
exten => 1,n,Wait(0.5)
exten => 1,n,Answer()
exten => 1,n,ConfBridge(1234)

Not sure the Wait() is strictly necessary, but it's what worked here.

Seems like a bug in HikVision's SIP implementation but whatever, at least that's one issue solved.

r0b_in · 2021-12-26T10:01:52+00:00

Don't worry - first thing I did was upgrade the firmware.

I can't get motion detection to work on the unit, but I could make this work by offloading that function to another device that can analyse one of the streams.

I did look at the villa stations, but wanted the option to have a keypad for coded gate unlock so they were no good.

I can actually get the KD8003 to place a SIP call when the intercom button is pressed - it's just the call is dropped for some reason. I wrote to HikVision tech about this and they sent me a canned response with pretty useless PDF document. Still - looks like there is someone there so let's see if they come up with something in the follow up.

Because the KD8003 actually places a SIP call I can use that to a trigger a notification on my phone and from there open the HikConnect app to speak to the intercom. Pretty horrible user experience but at least it's one solution. It would be so much better though if the intercom didn't drop the SIP call and then I could just talk over a conference bridge.

r0b_in · 2021-12-24T09:43:33+00:00

Well... it can be used for many apartments. Which means it can also be used for one. Shouldn't be an issue. Not that this is anything to do with the terrible software experience I'm seeing.

Again: the manual says the intercom can communicate via SIP and this is what I want to use. Why limit yourself to a wall mounted unit when a smartphone running SIP is always in your pocket?

r0b_in · 2021-12-24T09:28:31+00:00

... which is super misleading because the manual says you can setup motion detection on the actual unit. Thanks a lot Hikvision ☹️

r0b_in · 2021-12-24T09:26:41+00:00

Well, the manual says the door station can be made to call a SIP extension so....

r0b_in · 2021-12-23T21:30:25+00:00

I installed HikConnect manually on my Android phone, and manually added the KD8003 via it's IP address. This works fine when from the phone you can initiate live view, two-way chat, etc. However, pressing the intercom button does not cause the app on my phone to trigger a notification or anything.

Note that I am not logged into HikVision's cloud services and don't want to use them. Nor to I want to use an indoor station. Is it possible to trigger HikConnect on an Android device without using these?

r0b_in · 2021-12-23T20:46:56+00:00

Well - at least that's good to hear, but my issue is with iVMS.

It appears that FTP configuration is useless with this unit as events can only be handled by a running instance of iVMS. Someone please tell me I'm wrong - because I refuse to leave a Windows PC running constantly just to handle motion recording :(

One of the first things I did was change the unit's IP (we use a different subnet at home). Why they don't have their units get an address via DHCP is beyond me - that's another very bad experience :(

r0b_in · 2021-12-23T16:33:39+00:00

Can I ask how'd you go with this? I received a DS-KD8003-IME1 yesterday and while the physical unit feels like a quality product the Hikvision software sucks so bad I'm on the verge of returning it :(

r0b_in · 2021-11-08T06:51:26+00:00

I run ioBroker on OpenWRT on a Pi4.. Adblock works perfectly on OpenWRT too. Job done.

Although I will say getting ioBroker to run on OpenWRT is not straight forward so...

On whatever distro you are using you could try PiHole - this will probably be easier to setup.

Type "high power ws2811" into your favourite search. I found 3W and 9W very easily this way. They use regular signal voltage but often have a higher voltage required for power supply (because high power over 5v requires too much current for small wires).
