1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,880 We've been putting a massive amount of 2 00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:06,640 planning and work into turning the house 3 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:10,760 behind me into the tech house of dreams 4 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:13,600 for our hypothetical guy, Gee. But today 5 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,520 is not about Gee, it's about me. With 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,080 the interior looking like this right 7 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:21,000 now, it's going to be our main focus, at 8 00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:23,760 least until the fall. So, I need some 9 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,080 kind of low-maintenance or ideally 10 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,000 zero-maintenance solution to handle some 11 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,960 of the exterior [music] grooming. That 12 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,840 is where Mammotion comes in. They 13 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,680 sponsored this video and sent over their 14 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,960 Luba 3, giving us the idea of setting up 15 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,800 a completely [music] automated 16 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,920 start-to-finish solution. I'm talking 17 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,885 the garage door opens on its own, the 18 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,920 lawnmower goes out, does its thing, 19 00:00:43,885 --> 00:00:46,560 >> [music] 20 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,560 >> goes back in, and it closes back up. 21 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,200 Nobody touches it. Can we pull this off? 22 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,200 Sure hope so. 23 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,200 Our goal is to set up a home automation 24 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,400 system that, in tune with our mowing 25 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,240 schedule, is going to open up the garage 26 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,920 so the Luba 3 can make its way out, 27 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,360 maintain the lawn, and then, once it's 28 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,800 finished, come inside, after which the 29 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,680 garage will automatically close. SOUNDS 30 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,440 SIMPLE ENOUGH. OI! 31 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,160 BUT OUR 40-year-old garage door opener 32 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,600 isn't exactly smart home ready. So, 33 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,080 that's our first task, and I'm going to 34 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,320 accomplish that with some help from one 35 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,080 of our new writers, Michael, who brought 36 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:30,520 our home assistant setup for this 37 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,600 automation. I also brought my Tailwind 38 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,400 IQ3, which is going to control our dumb 39 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,000 garage door opener. Realistically, we 40 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,960 could have used a simple relay like you 41 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,760 set up at your house, but IQ3 includes a 42 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:42,000 door sensor, isn't ridiculously 43 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,440 expensive, and it has a good reputation 44 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,920 for low latency and high reliability. 45 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,680 Hopefully, it also has a reputation for 46 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,880 being simple, because garage doors are 47 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,400 one of those home improvement things 48 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,720 that I just uh 49 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,600 just pay a pro to do. So, step one is 50 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,840 we're going to mount one side of the 51 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,680 door sensor right here. It's got this 52 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,200 kind of cute little like ratcheting 53 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,080 thing that you put in as much as you can 54 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,560 and then Oh, wow. That's actually on 55 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:08,000 there pretty good. Then we just tighten 56 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,720 with a wrench and uh wow, that is not 57 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,680 going anywhere. Now we got to do the 58 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,200 other side. What's the best way to close 59 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,680 this now? 60 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,600 Uh we need power. Yeah, I'll plug it in. 61 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,560 Well, there's no power in the power 62 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,200 >> Oh, right, right, right, right, right, 63 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,800 the whole panel's disconnected. You know 64 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,360 what? No, probably easier to just do 65 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,600 this and then just close it. There we 66 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,800 go. Oh, boy. Little keep going, keep 67 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,640 going. 68 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,280 This is the moment when we find out. 69 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:32,200 Yay, I did. I put it somewhere where 70 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,120 there's not going to be something in the 71 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,200 way. 72 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,120 Nice. We missed some stuff on the 73 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,040 checklist of things we need for this. 74 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,600 So, we don't have our alcohol or rags, 75 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,600 but 76 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,920 hand sanitizer and uh the inside of your 77 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,040 shirt will do in a pinch. 78 00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:51,720 Now, in a perfect world, I would 79 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,440 actually probably screw this in, but I 80 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,040 think our plan in the longer term is 81 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,560 actually to make this the workshop side 82 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,239 of the garage and have the other side be 83 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,402 the car side. So, this is a permanentary 84 00:03:01,239 --> 00:03:03,600 temperant 85 00:03:03,402 --> 00:03:05,239 >> [music] 86 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,080 >> install. So, I'm going to use the 87 00:03:05,239 --> 00:03:08,920 double-sided tape. The alignment on this 88 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,880 doesn't need to be crazy close, but it 89 00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:15,560 does need to be pretty close. Right 90 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,000 around there should do just nicely. 91 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,880 The polarity doesn't matter for these 92 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,600 wires, so all we got to do is twist them 93 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,160 together, cap them off either with a 94 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,440 marrette or uh crimp or whatever works 95 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,640 for you. They're not high voltage wires. 96 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,560 Then the kit includes a nice little 97 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:31,040 variety of cable management clips to get 98 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,440 this back up to the [music] opener. 99 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,120 Man, did I just say that these clips 100 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,080 were really handy? Because I take it 101 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,640 back. 102 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080 I 103 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,519 cleaned that spot off perfect and stuck 104 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,400 it It's This adhesive sucks. We're going 105 00:03:40,519 --> 00:03:44,720 for the zip ties. 106 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,320 This is pretty DIY friendly. Obviously, 107 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,000 you could put more time into the cable 108 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,640 management if you really wanted to, but 109 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,720 that took me about 7 minutes and I'd say 110 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,680 it's acceptable. Now all we've got to do 111 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,840 is strip two of these ends and then 112 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,800 we're going to put them into our 113 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,360 Tailwind hub here into door one sensor 114 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,480 and then common. So that's just the the 115 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,280 ground right next to it. Then to connect 116 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,120 this to the garage door opener, we flip 117 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,240 around to the other side and we take 118 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,440 this little included pigtail and we plug 119 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:15,000 into garage door one dry contact and 120 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,720 then this goes into the back where the 121 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,840 dry contact switch would normally be 122 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,480 activated. Now all that's left is 123 00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:23,440 plugging into power and syncing up the 124 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,919 app. All right. Thank you, sir. We do 125 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,587 not have power here at the house, but we 126 00:04:24,919 --> 00:04:26,960 do have a Jackery. So 127 00:04:26,587 --> 00:04:30,360 >> [music] 128 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:33,400 >> this should work. Hey, look at it go. 129 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,400 Okay, big moment. 130 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,200 All right, that's good. That's the 131 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,880 warning. Sophisticated. 132 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,840 Nice. 133 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,840 Now on our side, you can see closed. Now 134 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:48,680 we click it again. 135 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:51,200 Opening and open. And it gets that from 136 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,040 the sensor data. Okay. Now we just have 137 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,440 to start setting up the lawn mower. You 138 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,200 know, depending how things go, we may 139 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,120 end up keeping the Tailwind as part of 140 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,640 the final installation for Ge it 141 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,200 supports all kinds of automations 142 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,560 including things like opening up the 143 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,240 garage door automatically when you turn 144 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,280 onto your street. In fact, I'd even be 145 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,360 pretty interested in something like 146 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:10,040 that. But for now, let's take a closer 147 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,400 look at the Luba 3 which should have 148 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,080 even less assembly than last time now 149 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,280 that there's no RTK antenna or extra 150 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,080 wires required on the outside. For the 151 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:21,360 base station, the idea is to have it 152 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,240 near if the door leaving enough space 153 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,120 around it for obstacle avoidance and 154 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,080 then obviously having it close enough to 155 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,880 our Jackery that it's going to be able 156 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,560 to charge up our Luba. Did I say 157 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,360 Jackery? Sorry, I meant two of these 158 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,080 Blue Yeti AC300s. Because we're going to 159 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,000 leave this unattended for long periods 160 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:40,320 of time and we want to be able to handle 161 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,880 the 210 watt fast charging for the Luba. 162 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,960 This is going to give us plenty of 163 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,640 capacity for that. Now let's have a look 164 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,960 at the mower itself. This is the 5000 H 165 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,400 model and the H indicates that the blade 166 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,960 has a higher range for the blade height 167 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,240 for maintaining a longer length if 168 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,000 you're into that sort of thing. And wow, 169 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,440 they 170 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,440 really have cut down on the assembly for 171 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,160 this thing. Basically, all we got to do 172 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,600 is plug in this front spring-loaded 173 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,720 pressure bar and 174 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,720 that way it's going to know if it 175 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,240 accidentally rams into anything. Then on 176 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,280 the bottom, we screw on these safety 177 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,160 bumpers. 178 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:16,280 As you can see, this unit isn't exactly 179 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,919 clean. Uh that's because we've already 180 00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:19,120 done some validation to make sure that 181 00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:21,440 it's going to be suitable for our use 182 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,200 case. It's more than suitable. It's 183 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,880 actually kind of overkill. This thing is 184 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,440 rated to do like I think a 5400 square 185 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,640 foot lawn or something like that between 186 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,720 charges. Ours is a fair bit smaller than 187 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,120 that, but that doesn't mean that we 188 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,080 can't use some of its more advanced 189 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,800 features. And a big one is its ability 190 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,240 to very accurately map out your lawn, go 191 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,120 about its business, and return to home 192 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,600 base. 193 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,720 Two more things. We got to put this 194 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,680 little key in the back or it will not do 195 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,414 anything. And then I actually forgot to 196 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,640 tighten on the bumper. 197 00:06:47,414 --> 00:06:49,160 >> [snorts] 198 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,200 >> There we go. Let's throw it on the base 199 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,600 station now. 200 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,560 Excellent. Hey, charging indicator 201 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,680 already, just like that. Now the rest of 202 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,560 the setup is going to be through the 203 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,859 app. Once you hit add lawnmower in the 204 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,800 app, it should automatically detect 205 00:06:59,859 --> 00:07:05,520 [music] a lawnmower through Bluetooth. 206 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,040 And I helped. Now the RTK reference 207 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,560 station, we don't need that anymore 208 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,120 because every single E motion unit comes 209 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,120 bundled with a 4G SIM card and free 210 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,880 service. It should just work throughout 211 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,320 Europe and North America. And that's 212 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,760 just for positioning, correct? That's 213 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,919 just for positioning. Cool. So now you 214 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,960 don't need any exterior RTK sensors and 215 00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:26,160 you can just rely on its own SIM card, 216 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,320 Bluetooth, and your Wi-Fi connectivity. 217 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,320 Now that that's detected, the next thing 218 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,360 we have to do is make sure that it is 219 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,880 using that iNavi service. So we're going 220 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,720 to go over to our RTK settings. Our 221 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,960 signal is good. For positioning mode, 222 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,520 we're going to click on that and hit 223 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:41,360 iNavi net RTK. And now it should just 224 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,200 have net RTK set up. Okay. Now we have 225 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,240 to set up our map, but first we need to 226 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,880 open up the garage. 227 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,880 >> Oh, right. Which we can do with our home 228 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,840 assistant automation. 229 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,560 Huzzah! Now to create a map. No toys, 230 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,240 wires, branches, sticks, etc. No 231 00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,280 problem. Start mapping. I think I'm 232 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,400 going to do manual mapping cuz things 233 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,600 are a little cluttered right now. All 234 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,880 right, we select 235 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,600 go to lawn, 236 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,960 forward, 237 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,840 left. 238 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,520 I'm going to try to do this as much like 239 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,040 I would want it to do as possible. Don't 240 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,880 mind me, I'm just taking my lawnmower 241 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,680 for a walk. 242 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,919 In case of mistakes, hold the joystick 243 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:25,480 reverse button. Robot will reverse along 244 00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:27,040 its previous route. Oh, cute. Okay. 245 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,160 It's worth noting that you don't have to 246 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,840 draw the most perfect outline in the 247 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,880 world. I'm just being a bit of a 248 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,520 perfectionist right now. And we're back 249 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,599 to the start. My lawn has been mapped 250 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,240 successfully. Now it is worth noting 251 00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:40,320 that I was obviously taking it for a 252 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,640 walk, but as I was doing that, it was 253 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,680 using lidar and computer vision in order 254 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,280 to make a 3D map of the space. So 255 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:49,480 theoretically, I can add another lawn, 256 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,760 but we're not actually planning to 257 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,440 upkeep the back because we don't care 258 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,600 about that. So we're just going to do 259 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:58,360 the front. So then I'm good to go. Start 260 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,040 mowing, right? Not quite. Before we do 261 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,480 that, I just want to go over here to 262 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,320 create and I'm going to create a no-go 263 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:08,560 zone because the last thing I want is 264 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,240 this thing trying to mow these. 265 00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:12,960 That probably wouldn't go too well for 266 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,960 the blades. 267 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,320 Mapping successful. 268 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,240 Nice. With the grass this high and this 269 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,000 thick in some places, we don't want to 270 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,306 try to go super short. So that's where 271 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,360 having that really nice 272 00:09:23,306 --> 00:09:24,960 >> [music] 273 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,839 >> range for the mowing height is going to 274 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:30,280 come in handy for us. I'm thinking maybe 275 00:09:26,839 --> 00:09:31,600 we go for like 8 cm. Just give it a Give 276 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,920 it a little trim. You know what I'm 277 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,480 saying? And start. Here it goes. 278 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,480 You can really see with how our neighbor 279 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,360 obviously takes care of his place that 280 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,240 it was important for this to not look 281 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,160 like this all the time. 282 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,160 Look at her go, bud. 283 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,680 She's ripping, bud. 284 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,640 You know, tracking the progress here. 285 00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:53,520 Like, it's freaking accurate, hey? Like, 286 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,800 it's really going exactly where I told 287 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,640 it, for better or for worse. 288 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,320 With the lawn mapped and the mower back 289 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,000 in its dock, all that's left is setting 290 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800 up our Home Assistant automation. Right 291 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,520 now, we're going to trigger the 292 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,080 automation manually, but once we can see 293 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,000 that the mower can consistently do its 294 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,440 job, then we'll set a schedule. We're 295 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,240 going to have our first event happen in 296 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,400 parallel with the mower being sent out 297 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,880 to mow and the garage door opening up. 298 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,920 Once the mower has reached the lawn, the 299 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,600 garage door will be triggered to close, 300 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,320 and once it has a progress of at least 301 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,480 95% or a state of returning back to the 302 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,480 dock, then the garage will open back up 303 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,960 waiting for the mower's return. Once the 304 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,480 mower is back in its base station, the 305 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,920 garage door will close, and that'll be 306 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,800 the end of the automation. So, in 307 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,960 theory, no one should have to touch it. 308 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,200 And now, the rest is just going to be up 309 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,720 to Linus. 310 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,160 I got to say, it's pretty cool seeing it 311 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,720 power through some of those really thick 312 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,240 patches. You might have noticed we don't 313 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,200 have any slopes on our lawn, but the 314 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,880 Luba can also use that power with its 315 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,839 four independently driven motors to 316 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,440 handle just about any terrain, including 317 00:10:44,839 --> 00:10:50,040 slopes up to 38° or an 80% grade. Now, 318 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,000 the only question is, will our 319 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,680 automations run without manual 320 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,760 intervention? And if this trail cam 321 00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:00,160 footage is anything to go by, the answer 322 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,000 is yes. But what's this? On day three, 323 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,320 we added a couple of obstacles to the 324 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,760 lawn to see how Mammotion's AI obstacle 325 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,880 avoidance handles them. Will it? Won't 326 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,160 it? Will it? 327 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,760 Success. 328 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,680 Mammotion's detection can pick up over 329 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,320 300 different common lawn obstacles. And 330 00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:18,200 if one of your concerns is things that 331 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,800 are alive on your lawn, they've got a 332 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:23,172 night mode that's designed to detect 333 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,280 animals like hedgehogs to hopefully, uh, 334 00:11:23,172 --> 00:11:25,080 >> [clears throat] 335 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,400 >> help save them from a very uncomfortable 336 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,040 fate. Also, you can just avoid running 337 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,440 your Luba at night. 338 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,360 With everything automated to the point 339 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,920 where I can completely ignore it, all 340 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:37,040 we've got to do is adjust our schedule. 341 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,880 I think once a week should be enough. 342 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,880 Might actually want to adjust the lower 343 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,440 height as well. That first cut did not 344 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720 bring it short enough. 345 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,840 Good call. Dropping the blade to the 346 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,960 lowest setting might have been a bit 347 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,000 aggressive, but we tackled the full 95 348 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,360 square meter lawn in under 40 minutes. 349 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,600 And with our schedule dialed in, our 350 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,960 setup is looking set and forget for the 351 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,600 rest of the summer. 352 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,480 Massive thanks to our sponsor Mammotion. 353 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,920 You guys can check out the Luba 3 at the 354 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,120 link in the video description. Uh don't 355 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,560 judge the job behind me too much yet. 356 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,600 It's not even finished its first run. I 357 00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:06,880 just I just shot this outro on the first 358 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,880 day.
