How to Make the Most of Patrol Mode with the Yarbo SAM Module?

[Yarbo-Forum]

Attach the SAM module to your Yarbo core, and your yard robot can help monitor your yard 24/7 in patrol mode, detecting any unexpected visitors and ensuring you’re immediately notified of every event.

How to Draw a Patrol Line in Patrol Mode:

1. Click “Enter My Yard” to access the map interface, then click “Edit Map” in the top-right corner.
2. Click “Create” and choose “Patrol Line.”
   
   
3. Move your Yarbo to the desired starting point of the patrol line. Once there, tap “Start” to begin drawing your patrol line.

Note: The starting point of your patrol line should be within the green frame shown in the screenshot (the docking station), the pathways, or within your work area. It cannot be set in an unknown area.

4. Once you’ve finished drawing the patrol line, tap “Next” to complete the process.
   If you’re not satisfied with the route, you can always redraw the patrol line.

Note: Similar to the “Sidewalk” feature in the Yarbo Snow Blower, the patrol line in patrol mode can have an open end without needing to connect to any area or pathway.

5. Adjust Patrol Line Settings:

• Patrol Level: There are four patrol levels:

  • Low: In-app notifications

  • Medium (Default): In-app notifications, voice prompt, app active push

  • High: In-app notifications, voice prompt, app active push, email alerts

  • Customize: Adjust detection targets, frequency, and notification methods based on your needs (as shown in the screenshot).
    

    

• Turning Mode: Choose between zero-turn (default) or smart-turn options.

How to Create a Patrol Plan?

Creating a patrol plan is similar to creating a regular work plan:

1. Tap the yellow “Start” icon on the main interface to enter the work plan page.
2. Tap the “+” icon to add a patrol plan.
   
   
3. Select the patrol lines you want to add to the work plan, then tap the √ icon in the top-right corner. Your patrol work plan is now successfully created.
   
   

How to Schedule a Patrol Work Plan:

Scheduling a patrol work plan is just like scheduling any other work plan:

1. Go to the schedule page (accessible from either the “My Yard” page or the “Work Plan” page).

2. Click the “+” icon to add a new schedule.

3. Adjust the schedule settings:

• Start Time and End Time

• Schedule Name

• Select your patrol plan

• Enable/Disable the plan

• Frequency

4. Click the √ icon to successfully create your patrol schedule.
   
   

FAQ:

1. Can the patrol line cross a no-go zone?
   No, a patrol line should not cross any no-go zone.

2. How can I adjust the patrol speed?
   The patrol speed will follow the universal “moving speed” setting in the “Work Preferences” page. Adjust the moving speed there to change the patrol speed.

3. How will Yarbo return to the docking station after completing its patrol task?
   Yarbo will calculate the shortest recharging route using an automatic algorithm and will follow the patrol line you’ve drawn to return to the docking station.

4. What happens if my work plan includes both an area and a patrol line?
   Yarbo will first navigate to your work area via the pathway, patrol the perimeter, and then proceed to patrol the designated patrol line.
