Ecovacs GOAT A2500 RTK

ECOVACS calls it LELS, a LiDAR-Enhanced RTK system that pairs the satellite fix from an included RTK reference station with a 3D time-of-flight LiDAR and an AI camera, for a claimed 2 cm positioning accuracy

Out of the box the mower protects itself with a PIN code and its alarms. Live location on a map arrives with the separately sold GOAT Cellular Module Pro, which pairs the built-in GNSS receiver with mobile data

A 4 digit PIN is set at first start-up and is demanded again whenever the mower is powered on, reset or taken off its map. Five wrong attempts lock it for 30 minutes

The mower sounds an alarm when it is lifted and when it is carried beyond the range of its map, both documented in the ECOVACS support FAQ for this model

Bluetooth runs on 2400 to 2483.5 MHz and is used to pair the mower with the ECOVACS HOME app and to drive it during mapping, within about 10 m

The manual lists the cellular network bands as "(purchased)" and the control panel carries a 4G indicator that lights up once the separately sold GOAT Cellular Module Pro is installed with a SIM card. ECOVACS lists the A2500 RTK among the compatible models

The mower talks to its RTK reference station over a LoRa link on 863 to 870 MHz, and receives GPS, BeiDou, Galileo and GLONASS satellites for the RTK fix

The official specification separates a 4.33 in front wheel from an 8.66 in driving wheel, so only the rear pair is driven

TruEdge uses the 3D time-of-flight sensor and the AI camera to tell grass from non-grass, cutting to a blade-to-edge distance of 1.97 in on unpassable borders and riding onto passable ones

Two gap-free blade discs on the 32 V platform, turning at 3000 rpm

The ECOVACS HOME app holds two separate schedules, so the mowing calendar can be switched between seasons

The documented behaviour is two fixed schedules plus a rain delay, not a plan driven by the forecast or by how fast the grass is growing

The app drives the mower directly, which is how a new area is mapped and how a no-entry zone is traced

The Alexa skill and the official Home Assistant Ecovacs integration both expose the mower, so starting, stopping and docking it can be triggered from wider smart home routines

ECOVACS publishes the Ecovacs Goat Alexa skill, which links the ECOVACS account and starts, stops and docks GOAT robotic lawn mowers, reports the battery level and changes the mowing efficiency

The official Home Assistant Ecovacs integration authenticates against the ECOVACS account and covers the GOAT series of robotic lawn mowers

The official specification table lists a 32.4 V lithium-ion pack of 3000 mAh charged at 3 A. The marketing copy on the same page reuses the A series line about a 5 Ah battery, which is the figure the specification table gives for the GOAT A3000 LiDAR

A dedicated rain sensor on the deck pauses the session and sends the mower back to the station when it detects rain, then resumes 3 hours after the rain stops by default, with the delay adjustable in the app

Lifting the mower locks it and sounds the alarm, which ECOVACS documents in the support FAQ for this model

The AIVI 3D front camera and the 3D time-of-flight LiDAR recognise more than 200 kinds of garden obstacle including small animals and children, and the mower stops mowing at night to protect nocturnal wildlife
