Our verdict
A boundary-wire mower for lawns up to 500 m² and slopes up to 35%, listed at £349.99 at Worx UK (reduced from £599.99, so that is a sale price, not a typical shelf price). It runs on a 20V 2.0 Ah PowerShare battery that fits Worx's other cordless tools. There is no official Home Assistant integration; the community Landroid Cloud integration (HACS) talks to Worx's cloud. Worx's page lists the ACS obstacle sensor and Off-Limits virtual fence as optional extras rather than standard, and the page heading oddly says 'Landroid S' while the contents say M500 Plus, so check the box contents when ordering.
What can Home Assistant control on the Worx Landroid M500 Plus (WR165E)?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Lawn mower | Lawn mower | Start, pause and return to dock. |
| Firmware | Update | Firmware update entity; installs only the latest version. |
| Settings | Switch / Number / Select | Configuration entities; unavailable while the mower is offline. |
Install Landroid Cloud (MTrab/landroid_cloud) through HACS, restart, then add it under Integrations using the same credentials as the Landroid app. It is cloud-based, so an internet outage or a Worx server change takes control away. Each mower becomes a device with a lawn mower entity (start, pause, return to dock), sensors, binary sensors, switches, buttons, numbers, selects and a firmware update entity; GPS device trackers are disabled by default and settings-changing entities go unavailable when the mower is offline. Documented quirks: auto-schedule edits only appear after the next API refresh, and the firmware update entity can only install the latest version. If the mower stops responding, the README says to unlink it in My Landroids, re-add it in the phone app and retry.
