Robotic mower with API and lowish price

I have done a little searching but cannot find much on robotic mower integration. Interested in views on the Worx Landroid or Hursqvarna models that look like candidates for plugins. I have a smallish (circa 150 sqm) flat lawn with well defined edges.

Interested in experience in general, no real use case for a plugin but it would be rude to get one that I couldn’t integrate.

I use the Landroid for a relatively small garden and it’s very good. I’ve not integrated it into Indigo but have it linked to HomeKit via Homebridge.io.

It looks as if you might be able to integrate with Indigo via node-red - something I have done for Alexa and my Tado thermostats - but I’ve not tried. As you say it’s not essential!

Thanks -
is the one I am considering (just looking into the differences between the new model and the version they sell at B&Q.

How much hassle was fitting the perimeter wire ?

Thanks,

Looks a lot like the one I have (which I bought last year).

Perimeter wire was incredibly easy. Worth keeping an eye on it for the first few mows and adjusting a bit. After that it disappears as the grass grows around it.
