Question about Dreame A2

Yes, you can use the Dreame A2 to mow lawns that are not connected to the charging station - but there are a few important points to bear in mind:

⸻

🗺️ 1. Multiple maps and zones
- The A2 supports two separate maps ("Dual-Map Management"), ideal for e.g. separate front and back gardens .
- You can define several mowing zones within each map (zone mowing), including individual starting points and settings .

⸻

⚡ 2. two maps, one or two charging stations?
- For completely separate areas without a path connection, you need a second charging station so that the robot can start, mow and charge - one station for each map .
- If there is a connecting path between the areas, one station is sufficient as the A2 can then drive back itself .

⸻

🚜 3. manual transport instead of automatic return
- If you do not install a second station, you can transport the A2 manually to a remote area - e.g. to bridge a barrier (stairs, hedge, etc.).
- Then start it in the desired mode (e.g. "Zone Mowing" or "Manual")   via the app or by pressing a button.
- After mowing, however, you have to carry it back to the charging station manually, otherwise it won't find it itself.

🔧 Conclusion

- Yes, you can mow separate lawns even if they are not connected to the charging station.
- With 2 charging stations, you can treat two completely separate areas as fully automated areas.
- Without a second station, it's a manual solution: carry the A2 there, start it via the app and pick it up after mowing.

Yes, if the surfaces are not connected, it needs a station for each according to the current firmware.
