Does anyone have much experience with robot lawnmowers? I’ve been considering one, but trying to find info now involves digging through a lot of AI slop.

Id prefer one that plays nicely with HA, as well as not internet dependant. It’s also for a small garden (50m²).

The best bet I’ve seen so far is to modify a yardforce mower with open mower. What other (good) options are there?

    I’ve had 2 different brands, and once the wire is placed just right, it just works.

    Placing the wire is not that much work in the first place, and then some minor adjustments in the first few days or weeks to get around corners better. Easy.

      For me, wire breaks happen every couple of months.

      Some utility digs into the easement, maybe breaks it then, but maybe somehow nicks it so it corrodes and falls randomly later. Sometimes I’ve no idea how it would have broken after finding the break.
