What's missing from Lymow mapping is the ability to create a waypoint on a channel.

My idea is that a waypoint would be configurable as to what happens there.

An immediately useful waypoint type: The Pause Waypoint.

The idea with this one is that the mower pauses there N seconds before proceeding.

It could be configured to pause only outbound, only inbound or both inbound and outbound, whatever that means for the specific channel.

Any number of reasons I might want the mower to pause but here's one:

To allow an automatic gate to open.

The mower doesn't have any current feature to communicate with any 3rd party systems to trigger, say, a gate controller to open. But a pause waypoint would allow me to get it to trigger the gate controller and wait the configured amount of time until the gate opens.

Obviously, there are probably other waypoint types that could be made but this is an immediately useful one to me.

I have run into this issue 3x recently where after turning off the mower when it is fully charged, I find when I turn it back on that the manual controls don't work.

Regardless of how long I wait... it will say, "Hello, let's get mowing"... And when I go to manual controls, I'll get the green controls indicator and when pulling back on the fwd/back control I'll hear the mower deck make noise but it won't drive off of the charger.

I'll unhook the battery for 3-5 seconds, reconnect and then it works. Consistently this resolves the issue.

This appears to be a regression in a recent firmware update or, perhaps, the app. It did not previously do this and nothing else about my environment has changed.

It's a mildly annoying workaround.

I do need to see if the command to mow a zone will work next time I manually try to move it and it fails and exhibits this behavior. Currently, my channel to the charger is blocked so I have manually driven it around the obstruction.
