I have multiple robo vacs in my house and they have a notification option available to notify me of regular maintenance tasks. I would like Yarbo to implement notifications for these items:
Notify to grease the tracks after “x” hours of usage.
Notify to clean the camera lens after “x” hours of usage.
Notify to flip the mower blades after “x” hours of usage.
Notify to replace the mower blades after “x” hours of usage.
Notify to clean the mower deck after “x” hours of usage.
Notify to adjust track tension after “x” hours of usage.
Ideally, an on/off toggle option for each of these notifications would provide better user experience.
I have not used any other modules yet, so can’t really think of options for them. But feel free to add your options below.
Thank you for your suggestion — we completely agree that this kind of notification system would be very helpful for routine maintenance.
We’ve previously shared a similar feature request with our product team, and your detailed breakdown of the specific items you’d like to receive notifications for is especially valuable. We’ve passed your input along as well to help guide future improvements.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your ideas!
I’d suggest that #1 and #6 (grease and adjust) should be the same thing. It’s not much different than a chainsaw or motorcycle, in that sense.
#3 and #4 are likely the same, also. Some blades with double-screw-holes allow four edges before you toss them, not just two. “Service mower blades” might be more apropos.
The hour counts for blades and deck service will depend on what type of grass is being cut, etc. It also must survive a module change, which is something that happens often - like when you clean the deck, or service the tracks, or use the SAM.
