Control a Remote Lawn Mower With a Safety Gate

Expose status, mow, dock, and stop commands while checking weather, location, battery, people, pets, and telemetry first.

Premise

Expose status, mow, dock, and stop commands while checking weather, location, battery, people, pets, and telemetry first.

Setup

  1. Connect the mower through its supported app or API.
  2. Verify status and mapped zones before the first command.
  3. Approve the first live mow while monitoring the full run.

Boundaries

  • Never start in rain or around likely people and pets.
  • Loss of telemetry triggers stop and alert.
  • Do not expose live camera data.

Prompt

Support only four commands: status, mow a named zone, return to dock, and stop. Before motion, read battery, location, charging state, weather, obstacles, and safety indicators. The first live mow requires approval. Log every start, stop, and zone. If status disappears during a job, issue stop, notify me, and do not resume automatically.
