I would like to have the Follow Me Mode enabled for the Blower module. I have to walk along my landscaped area near my house where the Yarbo can’t go, so I use the blower module with the hose and nozzle attached and walk along my landscape edging while blowing, but I have to use my phone or the controller while walking.
I am pretty sure that they have stated that this will be supported in the future for this module.
Thanks, I thought I had seen it somewhere but couldn’t remember where.
Yeah, me too, but I could not find it. Might have been on the FB groups.
We completely understand the need for a Follow Me mode in situations like this. The good news is that we’re currently in the development phase of adding this feature to the blower module. We truly appreciate your feedback and support, and we hope to bring this feature to you in a future update!

1st of all, thanks @Yarbo for adding this feature. Since this feature being implemented, when I try to start the follow me mode with the blower module on, the camera sees me, the blower level 0-3 is visible, and when I press start, nothing happens. Johnny 5 will not follow me. I tried rebooting Johnny 5 , but still same thing. Am I missing something?
Does your rover have the 3.9.10 firmware and are you using the 3.15.3 app?
Thank you for reaching out. Based on your description, I’m sorry, but I currently cannot identify the cause of the issue. I’ve reviewed your support ticket and will follow up with it. It would be great if you could provide some additional screen recordings and the estimated timestamp in your support ticket to help us resolve the issue more efficiently. Also, feel free to share the results here so that we can share them with the community for reference.
Planning to get the blower this fall. This follow me will be helpful. Any chance it works with different positions beyond the front? Like formation mode, walk along the side or have it lead slightly tracking you from its rear?
Being able to hit a patch with tandem bidirectional blowers(yarbo and a backpack) can really help break up thick matted areas
I have updated the app. Then I can select follow me in the app. But my rover is not updated so it can’t work. Maybe that’s what’s wrong? with yours.

Follow Me (still Beta) currently only works with the front cameras. The side and rear tracking mode would be a nice add though. You should submit that as a feature request.

Yep, just a post in the category should do it

Thanks @bryan.wheeler , looks like my app updated but my rover hasn’t yet. Has the update been pushed to all the rovers yet? I also noticed that my front camera is the only one working. None of the back cameras work. I ran a camera test and it says they all work but I can only see the front camera. Any ideas?

Hasn’t been pushed to all yet. Slow roll out. Supposedly by the end of next week should be on all.
For the cameras, 99% of the time a reboot will fix those. I did see someone post that the update fixed theirs. But, if a reboot doesn’t fix it, I would recommend putting in a ticket just in case. Might just need a firmware update or something on the camera modules.

Yep - seen that a couple of times for a few users. Support had to remote in and fix the cameras.
