I have an old gen Roomba and that thing sucks. Rarely finishes jobs, constant supervision, and does a below average job on his best days.
The math maths for a robot lawnmower in my area at $65 a mow 3 cuts a month = $2340. I’d have no problem with a 1 year period where it could pay itself off but my question is, how much time do I need to invest in babysitting this thing?
Has anyone had success with the Golden Six routine? It’s boring but strictly progressive overload.

Progression Plan
Use this same workout every session for 4 weeks.
Start each lift with a weight that feels like you have 2 to 3 reps left in the tank.
Only add weight when you complete every set and rep with clean form.
Exercise Progression Rules
Front Squat
Goal: 4 x 10
If you hit 10, 10, 10, 10 with good form and no back sketchiness, add 5 lb total next time.
If you miss reps or your back feels off, keep the same weight next time.
Bench Press
Goal: 3 x 10
If you hit 10, 10, 10 clean, add 5 lb total next time.
If you hit 10, 9, 8 or similar, keep the same weight.
Chin Up
Goal: Increase total clean reps
Add up all reps across 3 sets.
Example: 8, 6, 5 = 19 total reps.
Try to beat your total reps next time.
Once you can hit 3 x 10 clean, start adding weight slowly.
Landmine Press
Goal: 4 x 10
If you hit all reps clean with no elbow or shoulder irritation, add the smallest amount possible next time.
If the jump feels too big, add reps first before adding weight.
Curl
Goal: 3 x 10
If you hit 10, 10, 10 with no elbow irritation, add the smallest amount possible next time.
If elbows feel cranky, keep the weight the same or switch to EZ bar or dumbbells.
Stiff Leg Deadlift
Goal: 3 x 10
Progress very slowly.
Only add weight if your hamstrings are working, your back feels good, and every rep is controlled.
If your lower back feels sketchy at all, reduce weight or skip this lift that day.
Band Tricep Pressdown
Goal: 2 to 3 x 15 to 25
When you can hit 25 reps on all sets easily, use a slightly harder band or step farther from the anchor.
Hey folks I wanted to get recs for a main water shut off / sensors that will work with HA Green. Also what integrations might be needed.
I’m new to HA and am just getting started so appreciate anyone’s insight.
Hey folks! I work with Chinese manufacturers and do a majority of communication via email which is fine and we get by. But on certain occasions I need a translator for video calls as things can be complicated in my business and more thorough conversations are needed.
I’m looking for someone that could hop on video calls and be my translator.
Happy to discuss more details for anyone thats interested!
Thanks in advance.
