What is the difference between Automower® Connect, Automower® Connect@Home and Automower® Direct?

The Automower® Connect app provides different modes of connectivity depending on your mower model: Automower® Connect for long-range connectivity using cellular communication, and Automower® Connect@Home and Automower® Direct for short-range connectivity using Bluetooth. 

Main differences

• Automower® Connect connects to the mower using the cellular network, enabling you to control your mower from anywhere and anytime. In addition, you get access to the push notifications and GPS features that Automower® Connect offers, such as the map view and theft tracking.
• Automower® Connect@Home and Automower® Direct connect to the mower using Bluetooth, at a distance of <30m. 
• To use Automower® Connect and Automower® Connect@Home you need to log in with your Husqvarna account.
• To use Automower® Direct you connect to your mower without an account, which for example makes it possible for you to help friends and family with their mowers without having to create an account or adding the mower to your account. It is only a temporary connection and you have to enter the mower pin code and establish a new connection every time you want to access or control the mower using your phone or a similar device.
