Robot Lawnmowers (lemmy.world)

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?

If your garden is that size then a boundary wire system is very manageable. You got any tricky elements? Ponds, step slopes etc?

Also while I'm fully in favour of HA integration that is going to push the price up. But what's the scenario you want that for? Robomowers are a good fire and forget application. No integration needed, but if you really must there are some easy modifications involving the rain sensor that can give some limited control.
