There are many ways to ask questions or give commands to Alexa. Below you will find some examples of voice commands that will help you control your mower.
To make Alexa control your Automower® robotic mower, you need to give your voice commands in English, German or French.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
Launch Automower |
German |
Öffne Automower |
French |
Ouvre Automower |
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
Ask Automower to/about …
Launch Automower and …
|
German |

|
French |

Demande à Automower de …
|
The Start command is used to override the current schedule.
Alexa will ask how long you want it to mow, unless you have already said so. Note that if your mower is charging, it may not start directly. Instead it will wait until the battery is fully charged until it starts mowing.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
Start
Cut the grass for four hours
Override schedule and run for four hours
|
German |
Starte
Mähe den Rasen für vier Stunden
Er soll den Zeitplan ignorieren und vier stunden mähen
|
French |
Tondre
Tonds pour quatre heures
Ignore le schéma initial puis tonds pour quatre heures
|
The Pause command does what it sounds like: it pauses your robotic mower where it is, until you give it a new command.
Note that using a Pause voice command does not equal pressing the STOP button on your mower. When you use a Pause voice command, you can easily restart your mower from the Automower® Connect app, with an IFTTT applet or an Alexa voice command. But if someone has pressed the STOP button on your mower, you have to enter the PIN-code on the robotic mower keypad and close the hatch to start the mower again.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
Pause
Come to a halt
Stand still Automower
|
German |
Pausen
Halte meinen Automower an
Mach eine Pause
|
French |
Pause
Mets en pause
Automower en Pause
|
Use the Resume command to let your robotic mower resume mowing according to the current schedule, for example if it has been paused or parked previously.
This command does not mean that your robotic mower will start mowing, unless the schedule says it should be mowing right now.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
Resume
Continue with the schedule
Resume according to schedule
|
German |
Fortsetzen
Folge wieder dem Plan
Mach weiter mit dem Zeitplan
|
French |
Continuer
Reprendre selon le calendrier de tonte
Reprendre le schéma initial
|
Use the Park command to make your robotic mower go back to its charging station and stay there during this mowing session.
When the next scheduled mowing session starts (for example the following day), the park command is not valid anymore and your robotic mower will start mowing your lawn again.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
Park
Go back home
Park until the next scheduled run
|
German |
Parke
Er soll sich ausruhen
Parke bis zum nächsten Einsatz nach Mähplan
|
French |
Garer
Retourne à la station de charge
Renvoie mon Automower à la base
|
You can also tell your robotic mower to park for a specified number of hours. When the specified time has passed, the mower will mow according to schedule again.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
Park for 4 hours
|
German |
4 Stunden parken
|
French |
Garer pour 4 heures
|
Tell your robotic mower to park until further notice if you want your robotic mower to go back to its charging station and stay there until you give it a new command.
This command differs from the normal park command, as it overrides the following scheduled runs as well. This means that if you tell your robotic mower to park until further notice, it will not start mowing again on the next scheduled mowing session.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
Park until further notice
Make my Automower go back home and stay there
Let my mower return home and stay there forever
|
German |
Parke meinen Automower bis auf weiteres
Er soll bis auf weiteres parken
Er soll zurück zur Ladestation bis ich ihm Befehle gebe
|
French |
Garer jusqu'Ã nouvel avis
Garer mon Automower jusqu'Ã nouvel ordre
Garer puis attendre mes instructions
|
The status command gives you a brief update on what your robotic mower is doing right now, as well as some information on when your robotic mower will start mowing again if it is parked in the charging station.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
Status
What is my Automower doing?
Find out what my mower is up to
|
German |
Status

|
French |

If you have more than one robotic mower added to your Automower® Connect account you have to set which one to use as the active robotic mower. The active robotic mower is the robotic mower that you command at the moment. If you need to change which robotic mower is active, for example if you are going to your summer house where the other mower is located, you can use these commands as well.
Note: Which mower you control with your voice commands has to be set actively by you. The mower selected in your Automower® Connect app is not synchronized to your Alexa account.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
Set active mower
I want to change which mower I control
Let’s change my active mower
|
German |
Ich will Standardmäher ändern
Lass mich Defaultmäher wechseln
Ich will mein Standardmäher ändern
|
French |
Laisse-moi installer l'Automower par défaut

|
This command tells you which robotic mower is active now, that is, which robotic mower you control when you give Alexa a command.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |

|

Quelle tondeuse puis-je contrôler ?
|
Use the Next start time command if you want to know when your robotic mower will leave its charging station and start mowing again.
Note: Your robotic mower’s time zone must be correctly set and equal to what you have set in your Alexa app, otherwise the date and time that Alexa gives you may be wrong.
Language |
Voice Command |
English |
When’s the next start time?
When will my Automower start mowing again?
|
German |
Wann fängt er wieder an zu mähen?
Wann mäht mein Automower wieder?

|
French |
Quelle est l'heure de démarrage ?

|
Of course you can ask Alexa any standard phrases, such as Please repeat, Help me, Cancel and so on.
