ᐅ Interaction between Robotic Lawn Mowers and Irrigation Controllers

ivenh0Hi everyone,
Since there are some irrigation experts here, I’m optimistic that my "problem" will be solved.
I’m currently wondering how to perfectly coordinate my robotic lawn mower with the irrigation controller.
I’m using a Bosch Indego S+ 400, and on my desk, I have a Hydrawise Pro HC controller. With the Bosch Indego, I can set specific time windows during which mowing is allowed based on weather data. How does this work with Hydrawise?
In my opinion, there are several options:
1. Watering in the morning – mowing in the evening
+ Morning watering is, according to my research, optimal
- Evening mowing could be annoying for the neighbors (and us) on the terrace
2. Mowing at night – watering in the morning
+ Optimal timing for watering
+ Neighbors are not disturbed while sitting on the terrace
- Mowing at night is unfriendly to animals
3. Mowing in the morning – watering in the evening
+ No one gets disturbed
- Neither watering nor mowing is at the optimal time
What do you think? For mowing, a time window of about 4 hours should be set.
Best regards

Normally, it should be sufficient to wait 1-2 hours between the end of irrigation and starting to mow. The lawn can still be moist, as that does not bother the mower at all.
For example, watering early in the morning at 4:30 and mowing from around 8:00. That’s how I do it, with irrigation ending around 6:00.

The mower is so quiet that it’s not an issue.
Watering should be done in the early morning hours. Depending on the length of your irrigation cycle, start it so that you finish by around 6 a.m.
Mowing is best done during the day, for example, when the children are at school, around 8 to 9 a.m. Otherwise, you can mow in the evening. If your mower is sufficiently overpowered, you can also run it for shorter periods on weekends.
With Hydrawise, you simply set the days and times, similar to a robotic mower.
