May I please have this storm? You can keep the multi-foot storms but my Yarbo really needs to play.

You know you’re an obsessed nerd when you send Yarbo to clear the driveway after ~1 inch of snow.

Guess I fit that description pretty well. I have a problem. lol

Just wish the automated routines worked​😁 then it could probably run more often

Totally agree. Would be nice if the automated scheduling could be relied upon.

The trick is to send it out with the SAM and a 500lb roller, lol

My Yarbo wandered out towards the driveway like he was going to blow the non-existent snow. The gate was closed so he sat there until his battery died. I wasn’t anticipating him blowing non-existent snow. Guess that’s something to watch for going forward.

Like it set an auto schedule and went to do a work plan? If you don’t have that enabled, I’d submit a ticket. It shouldn’t ever do that unless auto schedule is enabled. And, we know that the weather data isn’t reliable for some areas.

Wow. That’s a new problem. Were there any notifications on your phone or in the app that suggested why Yarbo departed? And what about like a ‘low battery’ type warning notification. I’m assuming you received none.

A robust set of notifications are so obviously needed, and 100% expected with any modern robotic device. And it’s not like anyone would need to invent a wheel to accomplish it. Every app based product has reliable notifications. Why not Yarbo?

Yeah notifications in general on Android have seemed intermittent…both my wife and I have been complaining lately if the other saw our messages, we’ll open our phones and like 8-10 will pop up…going in and allowing background usage under the battery/energy savings menu seemed to help a little…wonder if Android is updating things with the notification categories and such…the schlage app just updated with a bunch of notification features

Back to the thread though today’s runs were very satisfying! Only needed help twice but it was less than a minute overall while we were watching movies with the kids, in our PJs sipping coffee​😁
