Does anyone have much experience with robot lawnmowers? I've been considering one, but trying to find info now involves digging through a lot of AI slop.

Id prefer one that plays nicely with HA, as well as not internet dependant. It's also for a small garden (50m²).

The best bet I've seen so far is to modify a yardforce mower with open mower. What other (good) options are there?

Worx Landroid, there are unofficial API bridges for MQTT and I'm pretty sure HA too.

Mine is fully integrated in my NodeRed home automation

Yep, I use the unofficial plugin for Home Assistant and it's honestly better than the official phone app! 💯

Which one do you have, and how have you found performance? Their prices seem in the sweet spot.

The Vision AI S250 seems like an excellent option @£499

WR147E.1 with about all the options added : ultrasonic sensor, radio link, magnetic sensor and a pair of stainless steel wheels spikes.

After 2 years I'm still very happy with it
