Remote the Lawn Mower

Sawyer Merritt set up Grok Bot to remotely control his autonomous robot lawn mower — 50 miles away

On 19 Aug 2026 Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt) wrote that he set up Grok Bot to remotely control his autonomous robot lawn mower 50 miles away. Setup took two minutes. He told it to start mowing; it started three seconds later. Then he had it dock itself. He says he will set up his vacuum next, and have a Grok Bot dedicated to controlling and managing all of his autonomous robots. The attached screenshot is an Engineer Bot chat: linked to a Navimow X450, then “Start mowing now” and “Go dock.” The clip is the Navimow X450 map.

Based on a public example shared by @SawyerMerritt on X.

How it works

Chat in, mower out. We keep Sawyer’s permalink. We did not re-run the mower or the dock.

Why it matters

Same-day community case: a named person, a live mower, an Engineer Bot screenshot. Community; we did not mark it tested.

Why it's useful

Remote start and dock is the job people get: not a chat summary — a machine 50 miles away, told to mow, then sent home.

Who should try it

  • Anyone with a robot mower
  • People who leave home and still need the yard done
  • Anyone collecting household robots under one Bot
