Quick way to "go back to docking station"

Hey Yarbo, when running a job, the bottom-left button “Recharge” quickly pauses the job and Yarbo returns to the dock. When not running a job, its a bit more clunky, requiring user to open the controls, swipe (which may/may not work, requiring you to swipe again), following by tapping the Recharge button.

I would like to suggest improving the functionality of the battery/battery-level button. When Yarbo is docked, tapping this button should begin charging if not already. If Yarbo is not docked, this widget would battery level as it does, but tapping would instruct Yarbo to navigate back to the dock and charge. A confirmation is probably needed here as well, to guard from accidental taps.

I must say, when I first used the app, I expected this battery/button to do just as I am suggesting. I was surprised that the app told me to dock Yarbo first. It should know Yarbo is not at the dock, and it could just initiate navigating to the dock.

@Yarbo-Forum Please consider this Addition -
Make the “Recharge” button on the controller, behave exactly the same way.
At present, if you manually drive the core onto the dock, you must exit the controller to initiate the charge process and see if the core is properly aligned, switch back to the controller to make any adjustments, then exit the controller again to retry.

I’ll suggest that once the code-base is working for JeremyJ’s idea, use it in both places.

Cheers!

I agree. All recharge buttons should work the same way. The one on the controller acts just like the battery icon on the main screen when the Yarbo is docked. Why not make them all work that same?
