In a number of cases I have zones I group together for a days mowing. It would be nice to be able to specify a recharge point in the workplan so that a larger zone would be more complete. e.g., If there are 4 zones in a workplan, be able to say do zone 1, 2, 3, then recharge (and be great to even specify a recharge amount), then do zone 4.

So if it leaves in the morning with 100% charge and doing zone 1, 2, 3 takes 60% of a charge and zone 4 takes 60% of a charge it would effectively mow zones 1-3 down to 40%, return to recharge to 80%, then do zone 4 and return home at 40%.

The current behavior would do zone 1-3, then do 1/3 of zone 4, return home to charge, then do the remaining 2/3’s of zone 4 ending with about 60%. That leaves zone 4 partially complete for a few hours and if anything happens (rain, etc…) it could be leave it partially done for awhile.

Yeah this would be ideal planning. Especially if you could have “smart sorting” kinda figure this out automagically.

I like the idea of telling the rover to go recharge as an item in a Work Plan. Maybe there can be something in the Area list called “Recharge” where it’ll tell the rover to go to the Docking Station and charge to the 80%, and you can include that in your Work Plan where you need it.

Just sayin, but the No-Vision-Zone enhancement request would cover this, and a lot more.

> [@"No Vision Zone" enhancement](https://forum.yarbo.com/t/no-vision-zone-enhancement/1772):
>
> Please consider extending the “No Vision Zone” feature into a more generic “Settings Override Zone” (SOZ). This generalization of the Zone will alleviate or resolve several pending challenges by allowing zone-specific solutions within or between areas. The intent would be, just as the current No-Vision-Zone does, for selected settings to preempt the current work-plan when the Yarbo is in that zone. I am unsure how the current software determines the entry or exit of the core from a No-Vision-Z…

Thanks for your feedback!

We understand the need to control recharge timing in a work plan, especially to avoid leaving zones partially mowed. Your idea of setting a recharge point and target charge level makes a lot of sense for larger mowing tasks.

We’ve shared your suggestion with the product team.  
Really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
