Ability to enter a charge command in a work plan or schedule.

I cannot cut my entire lawn on a single charge. So rather than have Yarbo travel all the way to the front yard only to complete 5% before having to return to the charger, it would be nice to be able to instruct Yarbo to fully recharge between areas. Since a schedule can only run a single work plan, that option would have to added to the work plan.

Thanks for sharing your suggestion. I will continue to follow up on the community’s interest in this feature. If more users express the same need, I will pass it along to our product team for further consideration.

This is a BRILLIANT idea!

Maybe it could be as simple as adding what would appear as a work area in the workplan that is preconfigured to charge. I would also like to be able to tell it which dock to go to for that charging event (select a dock to use for this charge plan). If I have a large property with a gate dividing it, and I expect Yarbo to stay over there a while through multiple work areas, I can have another charging dock close to that area for local charging. E.g., go to the shed charger until the work plan is completed, then go to the home charger. I can declare the dock it needs to go to by selecting it in a picker, or clicking on it in the map.

Thanks!

You can currently have multiple docking stations configured in the app and enable and disable them before you start the work plan. It will use only the enabled one. Enabling one, automatically disables the active one.

I handle it this way. Break the lawn into multiple areas. Mow the area farthest away from the docking station first. Sequence the areas to work back towards the docking station. It reduces the length of the trips to recharge and resume.
