Been testing the Hookii Neomow X for months — and it’s shockingly good.
Fully autonomous, no buried wires, even cuts at night, and I've integrated it, sorta, with Home Assistant .
Just shared my full review 👇

Strange that Sonos speaker stops working when the battery dies. You can't even run it off of a USB cable.
But replacing the battery isn't that hard.
