MowBite 1.3.0, thanks to everyone who tested the betas and gave feedback in the Discord thread!

Some things need a newer OpenMower (edge from 30.9. or later). MowBite asks the mower what it can do and leaves out what yours doesn't have yet, settings > updates says what a newer OpenMower would bring.

Dashboard:

  • the real mowing plan from the mower with progress, percent and time left
  • skip area and skip the path it's on, each with a few seconds to take it back
  • continue while paused, drop an interrupted job so the next start begins with the first area
  • emergency stop says why (bumper, lifted, stop button, ...), needs an xcore board
  • gps says rtk fix, float or too inaccurate, all four temperatures each with their own limit
  • show more under the last run, and starts the schedule left out with the reason

Map:

  • mower sizes: pick your mower and the map draws its real outline, its blade and the strip it really cut. measured from photos: YardForce NX60 / NX80 / NX100, Classic 500B, John Deere Tango E5 / SABO MOWiT 500F
  • new icons drawn from photos, YardForce and Tango station, an NX60 Punisher with its station
  • the last run's track stays until the next run starts, also after a reload or on another phone, older runs from the mower's own recording
  • smooth following and zooming, also on phones

Map editor:

  • preview of the real plan while editing, plan length and time, area size in m²
  • don't mow areas (mowable: false), driven on but not mowed, optionally mowed around
  • mow angle over the whole turn with a compass, on a phone right on the map, undo and save on the map
  • split can cut out a shape drawn inside an area, merging works with outlines that cross themselves
  • lists what the mower can't work with and marks it on the map, warns when the map on the mower changed meanwhile

Push messages:

  • through ntfy when the mower needs you: emergency stop, docking or undocking given up, navigation error, mow motor didn't start, optionally done, rain and battery. reminders and snooze right from the message, sent by the container so no app has to be open

Schedule:

  • end time per start time, home at sunset, start from the first area, pause for today or until a day, a hedgehog note for starts in the dark

Activity and sensors:

  • why the mower went home, the reasons of problems and the ros log next to them (kept 14 days), messages newest first, filter all / problems / progress
  • system tab (memory, storage, cpu temperature), battery over the weeks with charging time and volts per hour of mowing

Design:

  • frosted glass is the default now, a design picked before stays. new light design, seasons in the grass at the bottom

Home Assistant:

Update: docker compose pull && docker compose up -d in your mowbite folder (image tag latest or 1.3.0)
