About
Toro Haven Smartyard is a comprehensive smart outdoor platform from America's #1 selling mower brand. At its core is the Haven Connect Hub, which uses proprietary long-range wavelength technology — the same trusted by Toro on premier golf courses — to reliably link all Haven devices rain or shine, day or night, without the limitations of traditional Wi-Fi or GPS. The flagship Haven Robotic Mower features revolutionary vision-based navigation that autonomously maps and mows your yard, delivering a perfectly maintained lawn with zero manual effort. The Haven Irrigation Controller integrates with existing in-ground sprinkler systems to provide weather-responsive, automated watering schedules. The Haven Illuminate Controller connects to your current landscape lighting transformer, letting you program and schedule outdoor lighting scenes directly from the app. An upcoming Haven Outdoor Smart Plug extends long-range power control to holiday lights, pool heaters, and more. All devices are managed through a single intuitive mobile app, giving homeowners complete remote control of their outdoor environment — at home or away. Installation is flexible, supporting both DIY and professional setup. Haven Smartyard is ideal for homeowners seeking a truly automated, always-ready lawn and outdoor living space with enterprise-grade reliability in a consumer package.

Pros
- All-in-One Yard Ecosystem: A single hub and single app control every outdoor system — mowing, watering, lighting, and power — eliminating the need for multiple disconnected solutions.

- Golf-Course Grade Technology: Built on the same connected technology Toro deploys on premier golf courses, bringing professional-level yard automation to residential properties.
Cons
- Significant Hardware Investment: The system requires purchasing multiple physical devices (hub, mower, controllers), making the upfront cost considerably higher than software-only smart home alternatives.
- Requires Existing Outdoor Infrastructure: The irrigation and lighting controllers are designed to integrate with pre-existing in-ground sprinkler systems and landscape lighting setups — homes without these cannot access full functionality.
- Several Products Still Coming Soon: Key components including the Irrigation Controller, Haven Illuminate, and Outdoor Smart Plug are listed as 'Coming Soon,' limiting the complete ecosystem experience at launch.
