Robot mower ignores the rain, MySensors to the rescue!

[Mark Swift]

@TheoL Yes, we've been building our product for a year; we're due to launch in a month or so. We're looking to revolutionise the recruitment industry :-)

I hope you can help point me in the right direction regarding this predicament, it's the last thing I need to complete.

Cheers,

Mark

@Mark-Swift I'll see what I can do. But as said before. I haven't tested the V_TEXT. And since I'm on an old version of Domoticz, I won't be able to.

@Mark-Swift Random one here, you didn't happen to work for a company called ABS in the past did you?

[Mark Swift]

@chickey Sadly I did, I remember OSG ;)

Small world lol OSG is a nearly distant memory now, disbanded in the UK a few years ago nearly now, remember seeing you'd got the robot mower and when i saw your name i put 2 and 2 together and got the right number for a change lol. Been tinkering with the mysensors stuff and Domoticz lately. Only got a few sensors going so far but working well. Not to go too far off topic which mower did you go for BTW been looking at them myself.

[Mark Swift]

I've actually got 2 (don't ask!). I have the Worx Landroid, it's great with exception of the rain sensor...

I've just completed building a garage for it - complete with automatic door, rain and moisture sensors and some exterior neopixel indicators showing it's status. It saves me a ton of time cutting the grass; I'd thoroughly recommend it!

@Mark-Swift I was looking at the Worx Landroid as it seemed pretty good value.

@Mark-Swift

Well i got myself a Worx Landroid 794E from ebay, just looking for a base station and boundary wire now and i'll be up and running. Did you ever sort your issue to stop it going out in the rain?
