Is Gardena or Husqvarna still king or are the no-name whitebox rebrands catching up?

Of course something that works with Home assistant is a requirement.

The Husqvarna/Gardena etc. are pretty much all one design with different colors.

Checkout https://www.robonect-shop.de/ this is an add on for those devices and unlocks nice features.

Mqtt, pushover, weather etc.etc.

Definitely recommended.

Edit: the HA integration: https://github.com/geertmeersman/robonect

Interesting! For me it would make sense to install this into maybe a 2nd hand mover rather than buying a new one and hacking it.

By the way found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H32_IoSi3z8 Some people sure go all out.

Ok, this is really over the topz but I like it. Wouldn't be too hard, to open the gate when the mower engages.

Clever and nice touch of adding the drain.
