Just like with tractors and ride-on lawn mowers, it would be incredibly useful to see the “engine hour” / runtime meter displayed somewhere in the app UI (maybe on the home screen?).
With this bit of information users could plan their periodic maintenance more accordingly based on time-of-use, instead of pure estimation.
Since we are adding a small bit of contextual information on the home screen like the runtime, why not include the battery level too.
I’m attaching a mockup to illustrate the idea.
Thoughts?
I’d like to see at least 3 timers. One that that shows engine “hours” for the unit from the factory. This would show if unit is refurbished or tested or bought second hand that cannot be modified. Like odometer on car. Another that starts from time of product activation to show many hours I have used it. Also not able to reset by customer. And a third that is like a trip odometer that customer can reset - maybe ability to add multiple so I can track for maintenance. Such as one for greasing track and another for sharpening or changing blades.
also would be useful to see hours for your areas in a few different modes. Total hours spent on area and average time per area.
