Husqvarna's Automower Connect app does a very good job of showing me what my mowers are doing and giving me the controls I need to operate them. It essentially reports the “weather” for me—what is happening with my mower right now. My Robotic Mower Laboratory goes further by using historical data, my own records and independent measurements to help explain what has been happening over time and what I can learn from it.
Automower Connect: What's happening?
My Robotic Mower Laboratory: What has been happening, what does it mean, and is there anything I should do differently?
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
- Battery Performance — Establishes a measured baseline for each mower and looks for meaningful changes in mowing endurance and charging performance over time.
- Recommended Mowing Duration — Uses actual mower performance to help determine how long a mowing session should be instead of assuming that more mowing time is always better.
- Measured Lawn Coverage — Uses independent GPS measurements when needed to determine how much of the lawn the mower actually reaches and how coverage builds across repeated mowing sessions.
- Recommended Mowing Frequency — Combines mowing duration and repeated coverage results to help determine how often a mower actually needs to run on a particular lawn.
- Performance Intelligence — Brings the evidence together to answer practical questions about battery performance, mowing duration, lawn coverage, mowing frequency and meaningful changes in performance.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAPPENED
- Detailed Mowing History — Provides a calendar and day-by-day history of mowing, charging, returning home, battery use, cutting height and other useful operating information.
- Return-Home & Docking Intelligence — Tracks return-home and docking behavior and, when the evidence allows, distinguishes actual mower behavior from delayed Husqvarna status reporting.
- Cutting Height & Configuration History — Keeps cutting-height and cutting-configuration changes with the mower's history so their possible effect on performance can be evaluated later.
UNDERSTANDING & MAINTAINING THE MOWER
- Husqvarna Error Code Reference — Includes a built-in reference for Husqvarna error codes and their meanings, so an error recorded in mower history can be understood without having to look it up somewhere else.
- Cutting Height & Fairway Kit Reference — Includes cutting-height tables in both millimeters and inches with corresponding mower settings, including accommodation for Husqvarna Fairway Kits when installed.
- Blade Life, Maintenance & Repair History — Keeps owner-recorded blade changes, cutting assemblies, maintenance and repairs alongside the mower's operating history.
UNDERSTANDING EACH MOWER AND LAWN
- Mower- and Lawn-Specific History & Baselines — Treats each mower and lawn separately rather than assuming that what works for one mower or one property should work for another.
If there isn't enough evidence to answer a question reliably, the Portal says so rather than making up an answer.
