Automation for Resuming Operation of the Mower and Ensuring Continuous Functionality

[AlohaFlyer]

The Luba 2 occasionally pauses unexpectedly, even when placed on the docking station. This automation monitors for such instances and automatically resets the Luba 2 to Continue mode.

It seems you are suffering to an issue that I've experienced recently, too. After my Yuka 2000 got stuck, and I helped the device to get out of it, it appears that randomly the robot was pausing the mowing action afterward. After some investigation, I learned that the heading calibration is getting confused after such a rescue action.
Knowing that, whenever the machine is getting stuck intensively, I turn it off, turn it on again and surprise: No unexpected pauses afterward anymore.
So yes: your automation is very helpful, but maybe it is worth to increase an input_number helper too and if this issue is happening... mmhm... 3 or 5 times in a row, another automation should maybe fire a notification saying: "time for reboot my friend". 😉
Of course: this counter needs to be reset when the machine docked properly (which seems to help/reset the heading calibration too) or when the robot was shut down correctly.

Happy Mowing!
