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.

- 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.

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.

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