Why is my mower not returning to the charging station after finishing its scheduled mowing task?

If your mower seems to have completed the mowing task but then starts mowing again instead of returning to the charging station, don’t worry — this behavior depends on your firmware version and how the mowing schedule is configured. Below is a guide to help you understand and adjust accordingly.

✅ If your firmware version is below V1.5.6:

In earlier versions, the mower is designed to repeat the mowing task as long as the battery level is above 20%, even if the entire area has already been mowed. This behavior continues until the scheduled mowing time ends.

Recommendation:
If you haven’t updated to V1.5.6 yet, you can still prevent repeated mowing by setting the mowing schedule to match the amount of time it takes to complete one full mowing cycle. This ensures the mower returns to the charging station once the task is finished.

✅ If your firmware version is V1.5.6 or later:

In firmware version V1.5.6 and above, we’ve optimized the mowing logic to improve efficiency and avoid unnecessary repetition.

Here’s how the mower behaves:

1. If the previous mowing task was not interrupted:

The mower will begin a new mowing cycle when the schedule starts but will only mow once before returning to the charging station.

2. If the previous mowing task was interrupted:

The mower evaluates the remaining unmowed area:

• If the remaining area is small:
  The mower will first finish the remaining part of the previous task, then start a new mowing cycle. This may appear like repeated mowing, but it’s actually completing the last task before starting a new one.

• If the remaining area is large:
  The mower treats the remaining area as the new task, resuming from the last position and mows only once.

🛠 Recommended settings for the best experience:

• If you are on firmware V1.5.6 or later, we recommend setting a longer mowing schedule duration to avoid frequent task interruptions. This ensures smoother operation and fewer logic overlaps between mowing sessions.

• If your firmware is still below V1.5.6, you can still manage repeated mowing by adjusting your schedule to match a single mowing session length.
