an inexpensive thing I did was have a couple of large stickers printed that say "GPS LOCKED - WILL NOT WORK OFF THIS PROPERTY" and put them on the top.
Great Idea!! Have not purchased the Luba yet. Being able to add the tag will help, should it get stolen. Good velcro would work and make it easier to service. I think as Mammotion continues to develop the Luba some type of effective theft tracking will show up in newer models. This is a relatively new product and improvements will most likely continue as they get feed back from owners in the field. Like the wheel design.
I saw some people putting AirTags in the wheels. My Luba is being delivered next Friday (or at least should be) and I’ll probably put it in the wheel and put a couple tamper resistant screws in so it isn’t easy to take the wheel hub off. Also you might want to remove the speaker from the AirTag because after like 8-24 hours of being away from the owner it will start playing a sound. Also if the thief has an iPhone they will get a notification that an AirTag has been following them and gives them the ability to play a sound and would lead them directly to it.
Very awesome, I plan to get some form of insurance for mine in case someone steals it I'll get the full amount back.. some home insurances cover this stuff too but for 25 bucks I'll end up doing thgis whenever I buy one for double the protection.. thanks Brother!
Take pictures of it and your receipt for insurance. You might even want to contact your insurance company to make sure they will cover it. They likely will because home insurance covers possessions (clothing, tools, jewelry, etc).
Since the bumper is removable, and the tags are fairly inexpensive, you may as well hide a 2nd tag on the main body somewhere. A 3D printed box to hold the tag could be printed in white, and glued to the side near the wheel. Print 2 so you can make it look symmetrical (the empty one would be a decoy). Another option if you don't have a 3D printer is to use Sugru putty. It will harden around the tag like rubber, and also hold it in place.
A few people on CZcams have opened up the Luba lawn mowers and found that currently the SIM card slot is not connected to anything. Making it useless. Maybe in future models it might be used. For the price, their should have some way of tracking it. Or at least the option for the owner to add a SIM card to be ablexto track it.
This could have been a secret hiding place, except everyone now knows just where you put ot. it's not hidden any more! The same thing gos for the one hidden in the wheel.
As for prevention perhaps a sticker marked ‘’Anti-Theft GPS tracking’’ in bold could be persuasive. Much better, would be a lift motion loud alarm, a friend of mine had this kind of device on his 10K motor bike, but it was a simple any motion alarm which wouldn’t be good since the Luba moves.
@@Fishneck10@Fishneck10 why anyone would have a apple is beyond me, been the same phone since the iPhone 8 😂😂😂 here's my money for the same phone I had 6 years ago
I don't think electronic companies care if their products get stolen or not, such as $3000 fish finders or mowers. If these things get stolen, that correlates to more sales for replacements. My fish finders have NO built in security; so I installed an alarm in my boat couple years ago. I still have a security guard sitting on my mower while in use,.
I tried to do this in my buddy’s new 2024 luba. Screws come out but bumper won’t separate. So we put the screws back in. You might want to update your video or someone will break there bumper.
Great addition to a safety system but this will not keep it from being stolen. It can only track it if its stolen. There needs to be a shock or alarm system which can save it from being stolen.
5:35 "There's no way a thief is going to know to look in here" ... unless they google "LUBA anti theft". 😄 That said, the Venn diagram of "smart enough to research anti-theft" and "not smart enough to research if stolen LUBA can be operated" probably does not yield a lot of overlap.
I plan to buy one of the newer Luba 2 (second generation) units in a week. This is very tempting to install a tag. Although, I live in a small community off the beaten path. Theft is very low if existent. I have so many property cameras that you can't drive past my house without being recorded, let alone walking on the yard to take something. My homeowners insurance told me point blank they would not cover it.
The thing about the AirTag that Im not impressed with is that I cant "Add a notification" on the specific air tag. My other apple devices I can "Add Notification" such that if it leaves an area, it will notify me. I dont see this option for the Air Tag other than "Notify when Left behind". Well, Im always gonna leave this behind. Anyway, if you have more knowledge on this; do share.
I would try using my wireless alarm for my home. I'd put a window/door sensor and a siren (its loud ad hell) on the docking station. Its not the perfect deterrent but its a huge step.
I'm thinking about doing the same (but with a cheaper alternative from Atuvos). Isn't an AirTag making a noise if it looses connection to your phone + gets moved? And also: if it has no connection to your phone but then maybe to the neighbors behind the fence? I mean this would mean Luba would constantly beep while mowing or when neighbor walks by behind the fence. Right?
There is no reason to do this. Take the 6 screws off one of the back wheels...slide the rubber tire off...the air tag fits perfectly in the grooves between the rubber and hub. Put tire back on. Done.
i bought a 36x25x25" truckers lockbox that weighs 50 lbs to put it in. it's pretty much unbreakable. but on top of that, i put six 25lb weights in the bottom so it weighs 240 lbs total with the luba inside it. but on top of that, i have a remote security camera that lights up in my back yard if anyone walks in. they'll have only about 30 seconds to break open or run off with a giant 250 lb box before i arrive with my shotgun.
I do not understand this working if stolen. It works by contacting other iOS devices like an iPhone near to it and even warned them of it - so a thief would know that the device is there and could remove it and throw it away..... hence y confusion, it is not like GPS tracking at all.
There are iphones everywhere. it takes like half a day to alert of a airtag being with you. You should know if your lawn mower is missing by then and if they do decide to throw it out you will just track to your lawn mower. They will not be smart enough to find it. We are talking about thieves here.
@@AdamsReviews Not when only about 20% of cell phones and tablets are iPhone and iPads. Then there is 33 foot distance. I do not know of anyone in my neighborhood that has an Apple product. Also, the homes in my neighborhood are between 200 and 500 feet off the road and a good 700 to 1000 feet between them. So, their is no chance of picking up an Air Tag signal. The office I work in, has more than 300 people, I only know of two with iPhones. The company I work for has over 60,000 employees. No Apple products are supported due to how unsecured Apple products are. No Apple products are allowed to connect to our network, internationally or remotely. Yet all Android products are supported because there are ways to secure their connects. So NO, I would never trust an Air Tag to secure and/or track down a $2000 and up, piece of equipment.
So, instead, you take a chance to void the warranty by installing that button?? Did you check first with the company before removing the eight screws? Your Manufacturers Warranty is Void now ?? :\

So my advise: don't touch that company and their products even with a ten-foot pole, there are a fraud!
I feel your pain. They are really hard to get a reply out of. I eventually received my Luba …… and it’s great. I absolutely love it. I have a challenging garden with hills and it’s just over an acre. Wouldn’t be without it now. Ride on expensive to maintain and fuel costly. I agree they are the pits to converse with but their product is great. Hope I don’t ever need work done on it.
All nice and dandy. The AirTag will not work if they throw it somewhere in the middle of nowhere. AirTags need the FindMy network in order to work. Well.... no iPhone close, and that's it.

Can I ask when you ordered? I ordered June 26th and received nothing since….
Yes all true. Hopefully if mine gets stolen I know it within the first few hours.
@@bobn2461I ordered mine on July 10th from Amazon.
Yo I need some more info on how to get the weel caps off and if it has space for the airtag or not, cannot find videos

I agree with the airtag, but disagree with the title of this video. A airtag WONT stop it from being stolen
My thoughts exactly.

For the price, their should have some way of tracking it. Or at least the option for the owner to add a SIM card to be ablexto track it.
Might be worth putting an old SIM card in the slot so a thief has something to remove and stops looking for other security devices?
This could have been a secret hiding place, except everyone now knows just where you put ot. it's not hidden any more! The same thing gos for the one hidden in the wheel.
Im surprised that Mammotion didn't have a gps tag on the circuit board... Now that pissed me off... I bring mines in every night.
When the battery dies on the AirTag you glued it in
You pull it out and put a new battery. Its hot glue not epoxy.
As for prevention perhaps a sticker marked ‘’Anti-Theft GPS tracking’’ in bold could be persuasive. Much better, would be a lift motion loud alarm, a friend of mine had this kind of device on his 10K motor bike, but it was a simple any motion alarm which wouldn’t be good since the Luba moves.
It is very simple to take the body off and put the tag inside. I did it in less than 30 minutes. Not as bad as you think.
For the millions of non-Apple users, Samsung has a tag, and there are other tags that work with Android.
Does it notify samsung users that theres a tracker nearby like apple does with the airtags?
Why anyone would have a Samsung is beyond me
@@Fishneck10@Fishneck10 why anyone would have a apple is beyond me, been the same phone since the iPhone 8 😂😂😂 here's my money for the same phone I had 6 years ago
@ironborg6405 no it doesnt... I have 3 samsung smart tags in different units, it's untraceable from other phones

Now every thief will just slide the bumper off before they steal it😅

Just curious…
Would the manufacturer say that the warranty is voided since you took it apart?

Some of us would like to have our Luba stolen and collect the insurance.
Yeah id put 2 tags on it.... the other one would go in the body somewhere
There is no reason to do this. Take the 6 screws off one of the back wheels...slide the rubber tire off...the air tag fits perfectly in the grooves between the rubber and hub. Put tire back on. Done.
This is easier then removing a tire but I guess that could work too.

That's for apple owners....
what is new with this topic? specifically what tag what works with android is recommended?
Brilliant! Where did you purchase the Apple airtag? If this question is a violation of CZcams I will browse the web. Thank you.
Almost anywhere...Amazon is probably the best one.

The problem with using an Air Tag, it 100% depends on being within 33 feet of an iPhone or iPad to work. So this option is basically worthless.

Is Luba still linked to my account if someone did the factory Reset by pressing the Buttons? Someone tried that?

There is no way in the world that would void a warranty lol.

True but it should track to at least the right direction. Doubt this will end up in a field in the middle of no where. Better than nothing at least.
