WTH, yeah, that looks good. I wonder why my battery sensor doesn’t show that. Are you docked or plugged in?
Wireless dock.
I had been avoiding setting up Yarbo with Home Assistant (waiting for the official API) but i guess I can’t wait any longer. Time to play!
Interesting, I wonder if this is key. I’ve had it plugged in as I need to install my dock in a new location.
Yarbo is now unplugged to start draining. I’ll get the wireless dock connected tomorrow and see how the battery charging looks then.

I’m hoping it makes tow mode workable. Towing a $200 sweeper is a lot more appealing than buying another module.
I don’t think it moves quick enough for a sweeper unless it’s powered.
I tried pulling a sweeper last fall.
As Bryan suggested, Yarbo is just too slow for effective leaf sweeping. Additionally, it was difficult for Yarbo to turn at the end of each row.
All in all, I’ll just say Yarbo can’t do it without a lot of frustration.

Good info. I didn’t think to check but it sounds like it’s about 1/2 the right speed.

I think the M series could do it. It’s quick enough. Otherwise it would have to be a self powered sweeper. Something could be rigged up with some gearing and a drill/drill battery probably.
Similar here, app is different than the reading in HA
Ok, Yarbo drained a bit last night and was put on the wireless dock this morning. I’m ready to see the battery conditioning!

Still no optimizing going on. This is on the dock but it is with me turning on the charging by clicking on the battery, not Yarbo coming back to dock and charge. I don’t know if this makes any difference. At least in the app, both plugged in and on the dock, the app says it’s optimizing but at least in my case I’m not seeing that.
Once I get the dock installed wherever it will live, I’ll see if that makes a difference and then starts to optimize.
Yours is optimized for 100% 
I’ve never been happier to see the battery not at 100%. So it seems the battery optimization does not work when plugged in, just when on the dock.
Interesting
Cycling from 100% to 96% is not any battery conditioning I’ve ever heard of. All this does is use up battery charge cycles. I’m open to anyone explaining?
