Guess I won’t use Yarbo to scare the deer away from the garden. The deer watched for a couple of minutes then slowly walked away.

Looks like the deer thought Yarbo was just putting on a show 😂

Half the reason I got the Yarbo is to have it do security on my property.  
I just planted 33 2-4” trees and the deer just can’t stop from rubbing all the bark off and killing them.

I’m excited to try it out in the fall…

I was really excited about the Patrol Mode for my property, but so far the implementation has been lackluster. Doesn’t have any of the basic features I had anticipated.

Hopefully an enhancement will come one day once the other major fire drills are resolved.

and hopefully it comes to ALL modules.

Yes! Having to switch modules would reduce the usefulness significantly.
