Got this error on first day of use.....problem remains. Awaiting response from technical review

no updates in 7 months. Turning still broken. I was hoping before giving it away it would at least have an update or something… sheesh, hard to even sell if they completely abandoned it.

Joined the group recently and it seems to be quite doom and gloom. My mini 2 arrives next week, looking at the bad experiences I see posted here - am I better off just cancelling the order? It seems quite negative, or is this just a “post if there’s a problem” issue and there are lots of happy customers really?

When the mower needs to return to recharge about at 9 percent, it appears to only charge enough to complete the task, which would be nice, but doesn't charge quite enough so it has to go recharge a second time to finish, and then just barely finishes.

It would be nice if smart charging were a little smarter, in the app you can tell it to recharge full in these situations, but it gets done later.

Anybody else battle this issue?

How do I go about disabling the alarm for when the battery is low?

I have turned off notifications for the Mammotion App on my phone for the time being, but this also means I am not getting other notifications, like if the robot is stuck.

Low Battery shouldn't trigger an alert level notification - I know that the battery will go low at some point - I started the mow myself :D

After having my Yuka Mini repaired (the lens was fogged up), it no longer connects via Bluetooth. I've tried it with three different phones. I've now removed the robot from my account and wanted to add it again. Unfortunately, this isn't possible with any of the three phones. I've opened a support ticket and sent logs, but I haven't received a response in two weeks. What can I do?

I've had the LUBA MINI 800 AWD now a full season. I love it, and it does its work, but as a developer, it hurts me to see how stupid it is, knowing it could be so much better with good programming.

I didn't list all the good things, but rather focused on the bad, which is mostly software-related.

The Good:

• Unstoppable: The AWD concept is super, it's powerful, and nothing stops it.
• Reliable: The hardware is OK, with no failures for now.
• User Friendly: Setup is easy, and backing up maps to the cloud is very nice.

The Average:

• App Connectivity: The app is OK for most parts, but I hate that it disconnects the moment you lock the phone. Having to fully close the app, reopen it, and reconnect is a major annoyance.
• Mapping UI: Map setup needs some sort of voice warning when it stops recording the map. I've missed it many times because I was focused on driving the mower, not looking at the screen, only to realize after making a full circle that it stopped 5 minutes ago 😊.
• Camera Feed: The FPV video feed is nice when it connects, but it's always slow regardless of the connection.

The Bad (Software & Pathing):

• Location Inaccuracy: While charging, it knows exactly where the charger location is, yet the mower is shown 1 meter away from it.
• Obstacle Avoidance: The video camera detects obstacles but then leaves an 30cm area of tall grass around them. It acts as if it doesn't know its own size and thinks it's way bigger than it really is.
• Terrible Path Calculation: The path calculation is really bad.

Overlapping perimeters with interior paths

When selecting only 1 perimeter, the interior doesn't expand to fill the gap.

Overlapping outside and no-go zones perimeters

Adaptive direction in narrow paths does not work

My Pleas to the Developers:

• Steal from 3D Printing: Please hire a developer who does 3D print algorithms. This is basically a first-layer slicer, and they do such great things there. I bet you could directly use Slic3r (https://slic3r.org/) for this.
• Fix the Steering: Direction changes less than 10° shouldn't be done with a 3-point turning algorithm. It should just steer; why does it have omnidirectional wheels if it doesn't use them for this?.
• Unlock Advanced Settings: The app needs to open up and let users set up advanced features. We need presets per zone, control over when it goes back to recharge, and when it goes back out. Let us set offsets for the automatically calculated "battery full enough, let's continue moving" logic, because right now it sometimes goes out way too soon or waits way too long.
• Map Editor: We can back up maps to the cloud, which is awesome. But can we please get an editor to actually edit them in the browser?.
• Remote Driving: Why can't we drive the mower via WiFi/4G?. There are so many occasions where it gets stuck and we could easily fix it remotely.

Hardware Gripes:

• Rain Sensor: It doesn't work well. The mower needs to be still and have lots of water on it to notice it's raining. When moving, the water just shakes off before it can trigger the sensor.
• Underbelly Design: Why does the mower need all the fins and stuff on the business end?. It's so much harder to clean, and all those angles do nothing for the rigidity.
• Cables: The connectors on the RTK antenna and the charging station need to be detachable so we can disconnect them without pulling out our nicely installed cables.

Hi everyone,

I have a suggestion for a future firmware update for the Luba 2 that could significantly improve the cut quality, especially for those dealing with "grass tufts" or patches left behind after turns.

The Problem:

Currently, when the Luba 2 mows a zone with a fixed path spacing (e.g., 25 cm), it follows the exact same tracks every time. During tank turns or maneuvers at the end of a lane, the tires often press the grass down. These flattened blades aren't cut properly and eventually pop back up, resulting in unsightly tufts or "mohawk" lines.

The Solution: Dynamic Path Spacing

I propose an option to alternate the path spacing (cutting width) automatically every second mowing cycle.

Cycle 1: Mows with the standard setting (e.g., 25 cm).

Cycle 2: Mows with a slightly different spacing or a calculated offset (e.g., 22 cm or 28 cm).

Why this works:

Shifted Tracks: By changing the width, the wheel tracks shift. The area that was flattened by the tires in the first run will be directly in the path of the cutting blades in the second run.

Healthier Turf: It prevents soil compaction and "ruts" because the robot isn't constantly turning on the exact same spots.

Efficiency: It’s a great alternative to the "Chessboard" mode. While Chessboard mode solves the issue, it doubles the mowing time. Alternating the width per cycle would solve it over time without the extra daily battery drain.

I think this would be a massive "Quality of Life" update for the Luba 2. What do you guys think?

This was translated using Google Gemini to ensure it remains understandable; my language is German.

Is it possible to create a custom / separate area with an existing mapped area?

There are areas of my lawn that I would like to let the grass grow a little longer, and keep the rest short. Any ideas?

When reseeding the lawn, birds will demolish grass seeds.
Bird Patrol mode would allow users to create tasks to roam a zone without actually cutting the lawn, to deter birds until seeds have germinated.
If Mammotion really wanted to stand out they could use AI vision to roam, detect, and deter birds whilst patrolling.
This would add additional utility to my device using existing onboard capabilities.
Regards, a happy yuka mini owner.

Just bought Luba3. Similar to indoor robo vacuum cleaners where you map entire house and create rooms, I created a map of entire lawn. But i did not find a way to create zones like Front, Left, Back so that i can customize which ones to be cut at certain frequency as they all grow at different speed.

Btw, i am glad i bought 3000h even though my lawn is 0.4ac. it could not more the entire thing in single charge. It just need 10 more minutes of juice. This is my first mow. May be i will try tweaking the settings

Hey everyone,

I'm experiencing a weird issue with my Mammotion Luba 2 and I'm hoping someone here has run into the same problem or has some responses...

My Luba 2 stops charging at around 40% when placed on its docking/charging base. It just sits there and never goes above that threshold.

Here's the thing though: it's not a battery issue. If I unplug the charging base for 1-2 hours and then plug it back in and place the robot on it, it charges all the way up to 100% without any problem.

This makes me think there's something going on with the transformer or the electronics inside the charging base – maybe some kind of thermal protection or a capacitor that needs time to discharge/reset before it works properly again.

Anyone experiencing this? Any solution?
