Thanks.  I actually did reach out to them this morning through their website, but have not heard back.  Appreciate it.  Will try dm here. 

So the contact would be part of C4 and it would only be active on the times I set?  Is that correct?  If so that would be a very good idea.  Thanks.

Ya, that does sound like a great idea.  I was trying to figure out a better way then I had as I have to build new gates for that side of the house (wife orders).  I will have to give it some thought as when its cutting in the back yard (where its dog house is) the gate can stay closed.  When it has to go to the front yard I send it out in the middle of the night so it does not get run over as it has to cross the driveway to cut each side of the driveway.  I will have to figure a trigger for when it goes to the front yard only.  Alexa can send the mower out and Alexa can be bound to C4 so maybe there is way to tie it all together.  Problem I have is if I have some sort of sensor to trigger the gate, it will be opening and closing all the time when the mover is in the back yard as it cuts right up to the gate itself.  Maybe a sensor that is attached to the mower that is activated at dark only.   Hmmmm.....
