I had a delivery driver drop off a package today while the Yarbo was running a work plan on a nearby part of the driveway. “Wow, that’s cool, but I wasn’t expecting that and nearly hit the thing.” I think the Yarbo is hard to miss, but I don’t drive a van with an elevated seating position and the m…

I think a flag on a flexible pole would be the easiest. Perhaps a strobe on it that could be motion activated or triggered by your HA during your schedule window or some other trigger external to Yarbo.

It would also allow Yarbo to act on sensor data…
