+title: New returning type in LawnMowerActivity
+---
+
+As of Home Assistant Core 2024.9, integrations implementing `LawnMowerEntity` can indicate that their mower is returning to the dock by using the new `LawnMowerActivity.RETURNING` state.
+
+More details can be found in the [documentation](/docs/core/entity/lawn-mower#activities)
+
+## Example
+
+```python
+    async def async_dock(self) -> None:
+        """Start docking."""
+        self._attr_activity = LawnMowerActivity.RETURNING
+        self.async_write_ha_state()
+```
+
+or by returning `LawnMowerActivity.RETURNING` in the activity property of your `lawn_mower` entity.
+
+```python
+    @property
+    def activity(self) -> LawnMowerActivity:
+        """Return the state of the mower."""
+        mower = self.mower
+        if mower.state is RETURNING:
+            return LawnMowerActivity.RETURNING
+        ...
+```
