I did a fun video to be able to see what the Luba 3 sees through its 2 HD vision cameras.

Working this out in my head as I type. So let me know if you see errors.

3 acre lot with 15° mowed grassy side slopes above water and many keepout areas for trees, veg and flowerbeds, outbuilding, 2 driveways with brick things at ends, dug pond, ephemeral creek which may overflow its banks rapidly and must be crossed over bridge to mow around pond, and another ephemeral creek(ditch feeding previous creek) which must be bypassed briefly driving onto public road over culvert. Flat, street facing front yard and milder slopes could be delegated to commercial automowers if more capacity required.

Automower must choose to mow, or not, autonomously and return to base according to its needs. But always reserve maybe 20% battery capacity while mowing, in case it is recalled to base to serve as my personal yard mobility device. For nature 'walks', fishing, yard work, dog runs, running with skateboarders.

Automower must also remain on base(conductive coupling prepped to export power) while PHEV is actively charging at base J1772 EVSE so that full rated 50A is available to 11kW onboard charger. In that case, automower will supply power to well pump, when water pressure demand switch calls for it. The inverter driven well pump can operate on 48VDC or 240VAC on the same wires. These conditions are expected overnight when water demand is low to zero. Evening and morning while water demand is high and PHEV is plugged in, will be handled by PHEV charging schedule off at those times.

Mobile unit electric: starting with 4 brushed power wheelchair motors/wheels overvolted to 48v with 2 Roboteq HDC2472 controllers and 16 100AH LFP cells on 200A BMS, CORVON743V1 flight controller, Jetson nano, realsense camera, because that is what I already have. Everything subject to change.

Mobile unit gas: Maybe. Have John Deere Z245 which could be automated. It would mow the entire property in 4 hours when I was still able to sit on it. It always had big problems spinning rear tires and pointing downhill on the side slopes. Adding electric steering control to front casters would help a lot. Are there any FOSS repos known to tune well in this kind of retrofit application?
I'd rather not return to hauling gasoline and listening to the drone. But I do already hear the neighbors gas mowing constantly. And having the freedom to dedicate the electric drive vehicle to just my mobility might be better. Might also be interesting to run this gas mower as a charger for the electric vehicle in case of power outage.

Base unit power: 50A 240V 6AWG buried under driveway branch circuit originally dedicated to submerged water well pump. Replaced with Grundfos SQFlex 1.5HP. I would like to "smarten up" this circuit, as it is in the perfect location next to driveway to have AC level 2 EVSE and also house my 4 bifacial 100W solar panels and Morningstar TS-MPPT-30 charge controller in a yet to be built shed. Solar could charge a lot of different small battery items and large 12v bank in wheelchair van depending on needs. Morningstar relay driver and PLC to manage battery, PV, and load contactors and controller reconfiguration. Controller says it is UL rated only for "indoor use". So what would my driveway adjacent shed need to have to be considered "indoor"?

I'm a robotics geek loosing mobility. I can no longer walk around my yard or even make the trip 100ft downhill on grass to my workshop. I can walk a little. How much varies day to day, but I cannot sit any longer than I can walk. That is the harder problem to solve. My ideal position is called "elevated quadruped on elbows" which is the only pain free position. Basically kneeling, leaning way forward onto something supporting chest, elbows, and optional face pad. Very limited forward visibility in that position. Which is why I want the device that already knows every inch of my yard to carry me around. Because I can't see where I am going.

My lawn is zoysia, and every summer it gets genuinely thick. The blades feel almost wiry, way coarser than regular turf, and by July it's basically a dense mat. I've been looking at robot mowers but keep second guessing whether a standard model would keep up once the grass hits peak density. Anyone have experience with a robot mower that can push through this kind of lawn without struggling? No ads, please!

Last week my unit started flaking out.

It would go to the dock and show as docked but not charging on the app (only parked).  It actually was charging and would eventually go out and mow again.

After a few days of "that" behavior, it completely died.

Now the green light next to the power button is flashing, the Cell board is connected to the cloud and shows "docked", but the unit will not "power up".

If I remove the battery, the cloud shows it disconnected.  When I reinstall the battery, the cloud sees it again.

I have checked the dock, has power. Checked the battery and it's at 19v. Also swapped the battery with a known good battery - same behavior Has anyone seen this and/or have a fix?

I have a 10 acre farm and we have an electric fence all the way around it which needs to be maintained. we’ve been doing it with a weedeater or paying someone ($50/hr) to do it for us. I’m tired of this and was looking into a robot but I can’t find one that could reach under the wires (5 inches on average) There‘s also uneven terrain. Does any have any recommendations for an auto mower?

Here to put the word out to the general masses of all the things the influencers won't tell you about. My Lymow One Plus is currently dead and I spent the past 4 months documenting all the issues I've had with this piece of junk. Really disappointed overall as I have had to go out and buy a Luba 3 3000 to supplement the Lymow after it stopped working 2 weeks ago. I was planning on doing a 4 month of ownership video but, alas, here I am documenting all the crap that has gone wrong and why NOBODY should be buying one until they fix the majority of these. It really feels like we got another beta unit and we totally got scammed by Lymow yet again, only the Lymow One Actually cuts and doesn't overheat...this one may be even worse.

Have you experienced some or all of these? Is everyone on their 2nd/3rd/4th mower or waiting for one to arrive currently? Did anyone buy a second mower like I did? Please share your experiences if you can. Alot of these issues took a good bit of researching to figure out how to fix, and the overheating one is just commonplace now for those on Reddit/Facebook but the general public really doesn't have any idea due to the promoted influencer videos that lie about this thing.

Issues Covered That I Ran Into During The 4 Month I've Owned It:

1. Ignoring a Channel When Docking

2. Mower Functional But App Says 0% Battery (Won’t Work)

3. Won’t Charge in Temps <39 Degrees

4. Random Samples of Errors You Are Likely To Encounter

5. Random Shut Off’s And Glitches (Manual Intervention)

6. RTK is Extremely Difficult To Set Up and Dial In

7. Lymow One Plus Destroys The Grass Anywhere Near Dock

8. Dock is a DISASTER

9. Lymow One Plus Overheats In Weather >80 Degrees

10. More Overheating Issues, Still Not Solved

11. Top Charging Contacts Do Not Work As They Should

12. Ran Into A Parked Car!?!

13. Faulty Battery/Dock...Mower Dead

This time of the year we often get 2-3-4 t-storms every day in the heart of central FL arguably the "lightning capital of the US". LOL, already had 3 today with a couple hours of bright hot sunshine between each.

I downloaded the latest firmware for the Luba 3. Mine is doing great. Here is a video that I did on the edge cutting with this firmware.

Anyone know what this style of connector is called so I can replace it? I’m tempted to just cut off the connectors and just solder the 2 end together with a waterproof solder sleeve

(By having a decide that lives outside 24/7)

Replaced my blades today and say there was a party inside my unit. It looks like that plate with the fins on it could be removed easily enough. Is this something I should do something about?

My mower has been mega unreliable lately. It basically never makes it back to the home base for charging, and when I pick it up it always makes me run through the setup mode. Somehow it does always remember the old PIN, even though it always makes me reset it.

I'm wondering if there's a little CR2025 or something on the main board that needs to be replaced. Anyone know if that's a thing, or what else might be causing my guy to poop his pants every time he goes out?

How long sw updates Gardena promises forGardena smart Sileno free 1000? If smartphone app stops working is this lawnmower useless after that? Do these lawnmowers relying on internet have also some dependency on manufacturers cloud or server support?

The current one has lasted me through 2.5 summers and I’d expected longer but I think the motor is dying. It keeps stopping and starting, and trundles along without spinning the blades.
I’d ideally like one which does edge trimming. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
