Question 1

What is the minimum length required for the corridor between two mowing areas of the Robolinho 1150?

Accepted Answer

The manual for the Robolinho 1150 does not specify a minimum length for the corridor connecting two mowing areas. However, it does clearly define the requirements for width to be respected:

Total width of the corridor: at least 60 cm
Distance between the boundary wire and the edge of the area: 20 cm on each side
Distance between the two boundary wires: at least 20 cm

Regarding the length, no minimum value is mentioned in the manual. In practice, it is recommended to allow sufficient length for the robot to engage and align properly before crossing - generally at least 1 to 2 meters for a robot of this category, to avoid blockages or repeated turnarounds at the entrance of the corridor.

Question 2

Where can I find the mowing area diagrams and drawings in the Robolinho 1150 manual?

Accepted Answer

The mowing area diagrams for the Robolinho 1150 are located in Chapter 4 of the manual, particularly in sections 4.2 and 4.5 (pages 102 to 105). Here is the complete guide:

General Planning (Section 4.2, page 102): The diagram (01) shows the overall layout of the garden with the location of the base station, the main area (HF), and the secondary area (NF). This is the starting point for understanding the organization of the mowing areas.

Installation of the Perimeter Wire (Section 4.5.2, page 103): The diagram (01) details the installation of the wire in an uninterrupted loop and the minimum distances to be respected (notably 20 cm minimum near obstacles and flower beds). This section also explains the required gaps depending on the environment.

Additional Sections with Diagrams (pages 104-105):

Section 4.5.3 “Defining Obstacles”: Shows how to position the wire around fixed elements in the garden with the correct safety distances.
Section 4.5.4 “Defining Corridors” diagram (01/h): Illustrates the creation of narrow passages to connect two mowing areas.
Section 4.5.5 “Defining Slopes” diagram (11): Shows how to isolate sloped areas (limit: 35% maximum).
Section 4.5.6 “Establishing Cable Reserves” diagram (07): Details the creation of closed loops to enlarge the mowing areas.
Section 4.5.7 “Typical Errors” diagram (02): Presents common mistakes to avoid (wire crossings, open loops, insufficient distances, inaccurate positioning).

Details of Angles: The diagrams (06) cover two cases: inward angles (06/a) where the wire is laid diagonally, and outward angles with obstacles (06/b). The diagram (05) deals with paved paths where the wire must be laid according to the presence of obstacles.

Practical Tip: Use the zoom function of the PDF reader on the product page to enlarge the illustrations and read the detailed annotations (distances in cm, angles, minimum distances). Most useful information can be found between pages 102 and 105.

Question 3

How to change the mowing schedule via the mobile app?

Accepted Answer

Changing the mowing schedule of the Robolinho 350 W via the AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Garden mobile app works in two modes: directly in the mobile app if the robot is connected to the Internet, or via the robot's own screen.

Prerequisites: The robot must be connected to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network (5 GHz networks are not supported). It must display the status "online" or "Ready" in the app for the changes to be synchronized. If the robot is in an area with poor WiFi coverage, the app settings will only be applied when it regains a good signal quality. You must also be logged into your AL-KO user account in the app.

Steps to change the schedule directly in the app: Open the AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Garden app, log into your AL-KO account, select your Robolinho 350 W robot, go to the "Programs" or "Schedules" section, modify the desired mowing days and times (format e.g. "07:00-10:00"), confirm the changes. The app will display the days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) with the corresponding time slots. You can set a schedule for each day or define the same schedule every day.

Modification via the robot's screen: If you prefer to configure directly on the robot, press the MENU button on the robot, select "Programs" > "Weekly Program", then set the active days (with an [X] for enabled, [] for disabled) and the start times (for example from 07:00 to 10:00). The robot will then start at these scheduled times. Important: wait at least 30 minutes between programming and the automatic start of mowing. If you change the schedule less than 30 minutes before the start, the robot will only apply the new programming the following day.

If the modification does not work: Check that the robot's WiFi is active by accessing the robot's menu (MENU button > Settings > inTOUCH). If the robot shows an "offline" status, completely close the app and restart it. Also check that the robot's battery is sufficiently charged, as mowing robots only receive new settings when the battery reaches a certain charge level. If the router's WiFi connection is not strong enough throughout the garden, you can install a WiFi repeater to improve the range.

The modified schedules will be retained even after a restart of the robot. The robot will automatically apply the new schedule from the following day or according to the defined programming.
