Troubleshooting pairing issues with the Automower® Connect app during EPOS® setup

If you have issues with the pairing of the robotic lawn mower and the Automower® Connect app, here's what to consider and how to solve it.

Pairing mode duration

  • A new mower out of the box will be in pairing mode automatically. You don't need to manually activate pairing on the mower.
  • After initial setup, if the mower disconnects or you unpair it from the app, activate pairing mode manually on the mower. The mower stays in pairing mode for 3 minutes.

How to activate pairing manually

Automower® Aspire R6, 308V and 312V

1. On the mower:

  • Press the STOP button.
  • Using the numbered buttons on the mower's keypad, enter your PIN code to unlock the mower. If you have not yet changed to a personal PIN, use factory PIN code 1234.
  • Push the Bluetooth® button. The button LED flashes blue, which means the mower is in pairing mode.

2. On your mobile phone:

  • Enable Bluetooth®.
  • In the app, go to My mowers and press Add mower.
  • Follow the instructions in the Automower® Connect app.

Automower® NERA

1. On the mower:

  • Press the jog wheel if the mower is in standby mode (display is off).
  • Enter the PIN code if needed by turning the jog wheel and pressing it to select each number.
  • Turn the jog wheel to the Bluetooth® symbol and confirm by pressing the jogwheel.

2. On your mobile phone:

  • Enable Bluetooth®.
  • In the app, go to My mowers and press Add mower.
  • Follow the instructions in the Automower® Connect app.

Wi-Fi and Cloud pairing

  • During EPOS® setup, it is important to complete the Wi-Fi and Cloud pairing steps in the app.
  • Mowers without cellular connectivity (using EPOS® via Husqvarna Cloud): Wi-Fi and Cloud connection are required. Your mower will not operate if these steps are skipped.
  • For detailed guidance, see the Automower® virtual boundary installation guide.

Installation of EPOS® Plug-in accessory (models 2025 and earlier)

I have a 2025 or earlier Automower® NERA with EPOS® Plug-in kit

Automower® NERA models from 2025 and earlier require a Plug-in accessory to work with EPOS®. When setting up these mowers, it's important to follow the correct installation steps in the right order. If you are having trouble pairing your mower to the Automower® Connect app, it could be due to early mounting of the EPOS® Plug-in module on the mower. To resolve this, try the following:

  1. Remove the robotic lawn mower from the charging station and turn it off by pressing on the jog wheel for three seconds.
  2. Disconnect the EPOS® Plug-in cable from the mower and leave it disconnected.
  3. Turn on the mower.
  4. Retry pairing the mower to the Automower® Connect app.
  5. Turn off the mower.
  6. Reconnect the EPOS® Plug-in cable.
  7. Place the mower in the charging station and turn it on.
  8. A new firmware update will start, which can take up to an hour.
  9. Continue with the next step of the EPOS® installation: Husqvarna Automower® virtual boundary installation guide.
