Wow Crazy, thanks for demoing this new update! Now I can mow under my bay window. My weedeater just won't go that far back. Thank you very much Mammotion!!!!!!!!!!!!! :^)
Thankyou for another really great video. This update will open the Luba up to many more people who have several obstacles in the garden, or narrow passages of grass.
Nice... I've been playing with it and it's been great. There's shrubs/bushes that I have in exclusions zones, and it runs around them with a wide berth (beats around the bush lol) and it's great to manually control my Luba to mow closer to them. There's also places where I can't mow too close to the house, so I just manually control it and get'r done! My previous mower is a corded electric, so it's more fun to use basically an RC car to hit these spots instead of dragging out the push mower and unwinding the 150+ft power cord(s)!
I did the update and I think I am liking this new manual mowing option...It'll be a welcome addition to my Luba...The update did change some of my settings but that will be easy enough to fix. I have a pretty complex layout in my yard, and this will be a big help dressing up some issues.
Whoa Nelly! Waiting for the winter storms to hit and just got an email from Mammotion. There is a new Luba with voice over and a lawn printing option? Have we been left in the dust or is this a simple update?
It's a great update. Unfortunately I've been noticing Luba losing GPS signal a lot more now when driving around trees than it used to. Eventually it gets signal back and continues, but it can be 10-20 minutes of just sitting there now, where it used to just be fine.
I have not noticed but it is possible that they have tweaked tolerances in the update. You're still getting the same amount of GPS signal as before If anything has changed it is just how much Luba is allowed to drift off position before stopping. Not necessarily a bad thing just let luba stop and it will automatically resume when GPS tolerance is become within limits
Insta360 go2... the go3 is out now though. I filmed this about it 2 years ago I don't remember what I said about it 😂 ruclips.net/video/098ALHEtarM/видео.html
So off topic. New to Luba. I set it to mow zone 5. Then in the middle of zone 5 wanted to add zone 4 and 3. Can it be done on the fly like that? Thanks
Thank you so much. My learning curve is straight up with this. I’m outside last night and the RTK wasn’t green. Then I look in the manual and that’s normal after 8 pm. Crazy
@@stevethetoolman2435 Yes the green light is on a timer so all is still good even if it's not on after dusk... I personally put a piece of tape over the green light on the charging station because that suckers bright at night.
I’ve made a couple of mapping mistakes but those can be edited. I did a temporary install so I could move things. My KT gps unit works great lots of satellites. I ended up moving my charging unit 2 feet and it all worked good. So trial and error.
Thank you for your sharing. We want to hear your insightful advice about one detail. Will you think it is a good idea to make the reverse speed lower than the forward speed? You think it is a inconvenient design or a safe design?
I think the answer to both of those questions is yes. Of course it's safer to go slower in reverse but I also find myself using reverse quite a bit during manual cut. personally I would like it to go faster but I understand the safety aspect. Maybe on the manual mow options underneath the speed limit slider You could add a toggle that says slow reverse or fast reverse? Slow would equal slow movement, fast would equal same as forward?
What is going on with the few people who are having trouble contacting customer service? Does Luba have a 1-800 number or active email customer service? I guess my question is, what do you do if it breaks out of warranty? Or the need to replace the battery in a few years? For example, I can get parts easily for Roomba. Worxs has millions of batteries for sale. How good is Luba for parts and service?
No phone support, But they do have a support email that is understaffed. They will get to you and people have been able to get parts and warranty claims It's just not the most expedient process right now. There are local dealers and most countries now have a service center in the country.
@@Crazypostman Have they added a parts store yet (replacement motors, mainboard, cutting deck, etc) ...or do you still have to throw the thing away and buy another if anything breaks out of warranty?
I like this, but how well does it (the mower) integrate with home automation systems like home assistatn, does anyone know if it speaks rest api/ mqtt or any other way to integrate it ?
As of now there is no integration with home automation You control it only through the app currently. Mammotion has said they will look into integrating that in the future but no promises have been made.
Insta360 go2... the go3 is out now though. I filled this about it 2 years ago I don't remember what I said about it 😂 ruclips.net/video/098ALHEtarM/видео.html
Manual mowing? Efff that! If I want to manual mow, I will pull out the old gas push mower. It is more than 4 times as fast, maybe 5, and I can probably run a straighter line with it than I could with Luba. From my point of view that is useless. Fixing the naviation issues is a lot higher on my priority list than this fluff. I wonder if Mammotion is listening?
It would not be very easy to mow under that travel trailer with a push mower. Obviously you're not going to be mowing big areas manually It's just there for touch-ups if you need it and maybe to get to hard to reach places like under trampolines, travel trailers. If someone's just walking behind luba manually mowing a large yard that's not the best use of their time 😂
Hey Postman. I just got my Luba 3000, and got it all set up. Thanks for continuing to put out these videos. I didn't know about Manuel mowing mode I was a bit bummed I couldn't get as close to my fence and sidewalk cuz I would have liked but maybe I just need to fine-tune the zone.
If it's a hard barrier like a fence or a wall I would recommend staying away 4 to 6 in You're going to have to weed eat anyway. If it's a soft barrier like a sidewalk or a driveway edge you can overlap it a little have Luba keep one tire on the cement so it doesn't miss any at all
@@Crazypostman Even then it runs into things. They advertise 2cm accuracy and don't come anywhere near that. A person should be able to set it for 35cm cutting width but you will be leaving strips everywhere. Mine cuts off center. It overlaps lots going one direction and will leave a strip going the other.
@@garryverniest5893 2 cm if you have perfect GPS reception. Many places in my yard Luba will perfectly reproduce the map. The problem is most of the time the edges are going to be near something a house a tree a fence something that's going to affect GPS accuracy. That's why in those situations you need to leave more than two centimeters space. You gave me another good video idea I'm going to show how Luba is perfectly accurate out in the open.
@@Crazypostman Well yours might but mine does not. I have two small pear trees that are less than 2 feet tall with no branching, and out in the colplete wide open with a clear view of the RTK that is mounted above the peak of the house. Luba has repeatedly tried to run these over even with leaving 10 to 15 centimeters (4 to 6 inces). I also have not seen anyone else complain about the off center cutting. You will need to do some visualization to understand the problem. When you set Luba up to mow an area you can watch it draw the lines on the area where Luba will mow. I will call these the "planned cutting path". When Luba is cutting the area imagine this planned cutting path drawn on your lawn, My Luba seems to cut 3 to 4 centimeters to the right of the path. If you line yourself up with her and watch her cut while driving away from you she is cutting to the right of the planned cutting path. Then she turns around at the end and starts coming back towards you. She is still cutting to her right of the planned cutting path which is now your left. This causes her to leave strips when coming towards me and larger overlaps when driving away from me. If I try to widen out the cutting path past 30 cm. With 2 cm accuracy it should be no problem going up to 35 cm as it is supposed to cut 40 cm (I have not actually measured the width myself). Why do I care? I would like the machine to work efficiently. This means getting the most out of each pass and getting the job done quicker. I do not mow on a schedule as there is a lot going on in my yard and things need to be moved and picked up for her to mow just as they did when I was using the old riding and push mower. They are both more than 40 years old and needed replacing. The days are short here now and it is usually between 10 and 11 am before I consider the grass dry enough to cut. She takes close to 6 hrs to cut my small lawn and I consider myself lucky if she does it only running to the charger once. Yesterday was 2 trips to the charger. She had a lap and a half of headlands/boundary left when she headed for the charger. If I had not sent her out manually to finnish cutting before being charged to 85% she would have ended up cutting in the dark and the dew. I let her charge and went out in the dark at about 9:30 or 10:00 to put her in the garage. Yes, she does not sleep outside. The 6 hrs cutting is a huge disappointment from what they advertised. I thought somewhere around 3 hrs when I ordered it which meant if I was lucky it might do it on one charge. So anyways, to me efficiency means getting done quicker when conditions are good, less wear and tear on the machine, which means it will last longer with less maintenance and spending less on electricity and yes the electrons are already less expensive than the gas I was using before. l was brought up in a home where it was "waste not, want not" all the time as my parents struggled to make ends meet.

No you have to wait till it's completed to add a new task. If you want to mow multiple zones you need to do that before you start

Are you getting beta updates? My Luba didn't get the update pushed to it yet.
No, I'm on the main update path. Make sure your app is updated first. I don't think it will show you the firmware update until the app has updated.
