IFTTT: Smart scenarios for the Robolinho® robotic lawnmower


The smart connected Robolinho® robotic lawnmowers can be controlled and automated via IFTTT routines.


Synchronize the activities of the Robolinho® robotic lawnmower with any IFTTT service, e.g.

  • The weather service (Robolinho® stops mowing when there is a storm)
  • An irrigation service (Robolinho® stops mowing when watering is taking place)
  • Sensors such as cameras / presence detectors (Robolinho® stops mowing when someone is on the lawn)

You have two options for linking your Robolinho® with other web services and devices:

  • If the Robolinho® receives a signal ("trigger") selected by the user from another web service or device, an action of the Robolinho® defined by the user is triggered.
  • If the Robolinho® reaches a state defined by the user, an action of another web service or device defined by the user is triggered.

Possible application examples


Control of the Robolinho® robotic lawnmower based on weather data


Rain is coming

As soon as the weather service reports a storm or thunderstorm, the Robolinho® receives the command to stop mowing and return to the base station.

Start mowing in the morning

If your Robolinho® is to mow in the morning during daylight hours, it will receive a command from the weather service to start mowing as soon as the sun rises.

Let the mowing process end in the evening

If your Robolinho® is only supposed to mow in the evening until sunset, it will receive a command from the weather service to stop mowing as soon as the sun goes down.

Control of the Robolinho® robotic lawnmower according to the status of the irrigation


Start mowing when watering is finished

By linking the Robolinho® to a compatible smart irrigation system via IFTTT, it is possible to specify that the Robolinho® only mows when irrigation is finished.

Stop mowing as soon as watering is started

When watering starts, the Robolinho® receives the command to stop mowing and return to the base station.

Control of the Robolinho® robotic lawnmower based on the outdoor camera


Stop mowing when children are playing in the garden

If the outdoor camera detects movement on the lawn, for example from children playing, it sends a signal to the Robolinho® to stop mowing and return to the base station.
