Has anyone experimented with their own routes? I’m trying to map areas and then calculate a towing route that has no zero turns or reversing, and tries to maximize coverage while minimizing overlap. ---

Yes, a lot of us have tried. I tried last year so Yarbo could pull my lawn sprayer. NOPE. Let’s just say I ended up needing a replacement hitch when Yarbo randomly decided to back up. Then I tried again later in the year to have Yarbo pull a cart with my trash cans on it. NOPE. At least that time I never attached the cart, so I didn’t damage the hitch. I recommend waiting for Tow Mode to be on the safe side. ---

You have to create a pathway outside an area. ![Screenshot_20251212-151520](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/f/f7ee5b86c7b1c7ef68acdfbdff5cfd90f6674a53.jpeg) ---

I mean outside of the app. Just a geographic shape and a path drawn on it. I’m letting it draw itself with a random walk, and it’s chaotic, but covering most (91%) of a complex polygon. I’m hoping to plug something into the HA code and let it drag some tools around. I’ll post a map when it’s done. ---

Ok, you e got me really interested. So you can use this custom created path to control Yarbo using HA? And there won’t be any zero turns or backups?? ---

I’d like more info on this please and thank you. DM if necessary. ---

That is the plan. HA cmds work for a simple path. New antenna will be here next week, and then I’ll test a complex route with no trailer. ---

Really just that HA plugin, plus Claude.ai. I gave it a bounding box , yada yada yada, it generated a tow path for the community park. Lots to do still, but the real test is if it will handle the “where am i, where do I go next” logic. So far I only know it can be controlled through that HA code, and report on its location. ---

Wow. Very interesting and creative. Offhand, the biggest concern I would have would be latency. I hope I’m wrong though. I can’t wait to hear the results of your test! Very creative.
