Plans: the jobs Yarbo already knows

A plan is a named set of areas that Yarbo mows in order. They are created in the Yarbo app and stored on the robot. Yardstick reads them, uses them in schedules, and keeps a copy in case the robot loses them.

Why this page exists Plans live only on the robot. They are not in Yarbo’s map backups and a firmware update can erase them, which has happened. Yardstick snapshots them so that loss is recoverable rather than permanent.

Where it lives

Open Plans from the links at the top of any page.

The Plans page listing each plan on the robot with the areas it covers, and a backup and restore panel.
Plans. Each plan, the areas it covers, and how many.

What you can do here

Plans are made in the Yarbo app Yardstick can read, back up and restore plans, and schedule them. It does not create them. Make a new plan in the Yarbo app and it appears here.

How plans and schedules fit together

A program in the Scheduler sends Yarbo to a list of areas. Those areas come from your plans. If a plan is deleted, or an area inside one is deleted from your map, any program depending on it is switched off and Yardstick tells you which piece is missing.
