Robotic lawn mower installation

Owning a Husqvarna Automower® robotic mower is all about convenience and ease of use, starting with the installation. Whether you’re new to robotic mowers or just exploring your options, different installation methods are available to suit your needs. Husqvarna offers two possibilities: wire free installation via satellite technology or installation with physical boundary wires.

Virtual wire installation

Get customisable lawn maintenance via a wire free installation, made possible by Husqvarna EPOS® – a satellite-based technology that enables the robotic mower to work within virtual boundaries instead of physical wires. This option offers flexible area management since you can easily adjust the installation, set multiple work areas with different settings, and create temporary stay-out zones – all easily managed through the Automower® Connect app. Wire free installation also means that there is no risk of wire breaks. 

Physical wire installation

For the Husqvarna Automower® robotic mowers that can be installed using physical boundary wires. The wires are placed around your lawn to define the mower’s working area. Choosing a mower model with Zone Control allows you to create work areas with separate settings or stay-out zones. Otherwise, you can create “islands” with the boundary wire to avoid certain areas like flower beds, etc.

Dealer installation

Whether you choose wire free installation or physical boundary wires, Husqvarna provides detailed guides that make it easy to install Automower® yourself. However, for added convenience and peace of mind, you can also opt for expert help through one of our Husqvarna dealers. They will ensure everything is perfectly set up and your mower is ready to operate smoothly.
