AutoMower plugin for HomeBridge

Homebridge-automower

Plugin for controlling your automower from Husqvarna through HomeBridge .

Each Automower is shown through 3 services :

• One switch that will handle Start / PARK (until next period) function
• One fan that will handle Start / Pause function and spin when your mower is cutting (and only cutting, not while getting back to its charging station)
• One Motion sensor that will be triggered when your mower needs attention while cutting

The battery percentage / charging status is shown in the detail pane of each service.

npm install -g homebridge-automower

Homebridge configuration

Config as below:

"platforms": [
  {
    "platform": "Automower",
	  "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "toto"
  }
]

Fields:

• platform must be "HomebridgeAutomower" (required).
• email email used for your automower account (required).
• password password of your automower account (required).
• refreshTimer Optional - enable refresh of autoMower state every X seconds, for automation purpose if you need to activate something else based on its state change (defaults : disable, accepted range : 30-600s).
• startStopSwitch switch to handle start / stop until next period (optional - default true).
• startStopUntilFurtherNoticeSwitch stateless switch to handle stop until further notice (optional - default false).

homebridge-automower's Issues

Add a switch to handle start / stop until further notice

Make switchs options and add one to handle start / stop until further notice

Select which mowers to use?

A manual selection would be nice, as there may be mowers belonging to different homes and should be used by different HB installations.

Automower status from Siri

Asking Siri: How is the status of Automower?
Possible answers:

• the Automower is mowing
• the Automower is parking.
• the Automower is charging its battery
• the Automower needs help

Asking siri: When will Automower start mowing?

• Automower is mowing
• The Automower will start today at 16:00
• The Automower will start at 09.07.20, 16:00 Uhr
• The Automower won‘t start mowing

This function will increase the use of the Automower plugin extremely.

No blocking in case of timeout

Today, I suddenly received 'No response' from 30-40 objects in my iPhone Homekit. I looked into the Homebridge log, but the only unusual error message was from automower. It was a timeout from the Huqvarna site. Please ensure that such a problem does not affect Homebridge and other plug-ins.

Another minor thing is that every time an update of automower is installed using the Homebridge-ui-x I received a warning message that there are reference to some deprecated stuff.

Thanks.

Nothing appears in Home app

Hi, I installed the plugin, the Mower is visible and operational in Husqvarna app but there are no buttons in Home app nor in Homebridge accessories. Did the downgrade to 1.4.3 which was suggested during similar issue here but nothing. Do not know what I am doing wrong. My config:
{
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": "password",
"refreshTimer": 100,
"startStopSwitch": true,
"startStopUntilFurtherNoticeSwitch": true,
"mowersList": [
"Niiduk"
],
"platform": "Automower"
}

Parked also means charging

Parked in the charging station should also force the "Charging" indicator to high.

Buttons not showing

After I installed your package in homebridge I didnt get any new button to control my automower

Reason why startStopUntilFurtherNoticeSwitch is stateless?

I was wondering why startStopUntilFurtherNoticeSwitch is only stateless it is possible to read the value PARKED_IN_CS right? For me it would be useful to have the state in homekit too. I could make a PR if you like, just wondering if there is a reason why this is done. Thanks a lot for your efforts!

concurrent API login possible

with an error in authenticate :

ERROR - authenticate - No 201 return 400/{"statusCode":400,"body":{"errors":[{"code":"simultaneous.logins","status":400,"title":"Bad request"

Lifted error not indicated

One of the mowers stopped with "Lifted" error. No indication on the Ready/Help motion indicator and no alert/notification.

Move to platform structure

For better handling of refresh between the two accessories and handling multiple mowers !

How does it work?

Hi,
Thanks for the plugin. Not sure I fully understand how it works. I have automower 305 and it uses Bluetooth to control the device. How to make the device controllable through network? Thank you in advance!

Refreh timer issue

I think I have a problem with the refresh timer. Due to the constant logins, it looks like Husqvarna always logs me out in the original app or IFTT. If this is related, only the manufacturer can adjust this, of course.
2.
In the Homebridge UI Config for the plugin, I can't set the Auto Refresh to deactivated. Only a numerical value can be set.

Gardena support

Hi, I was wondering whether it would be possible to add support for Gardena Mowers in your plugin? I know that the Husqvarna and Gardena mowers are closely aligned, and I therefore thought the possibility could be there?

Regards,
Joachim

NOTE ON UPDATING 1.3.0 / 1.3.1 / 1.3.2

YOU WILL NEED TO CLEAN YOUR CACHE
Due to some changes in naming on platform / accessories and service identifiers, if you get errors at startup you will have to unsusre that cached accessories are removed of previous versions.

Using the -R option is a good way to do so, accessible in configUI-X :

Support mowers from Husqvana branch Gardena

Hi,

there is a branch of Husqvana that is selling mowers as well.

Not sure if it is possible to add support for them as well. There was a homebridge plugin but this seams abandoned and non-functional.

Plug-in suddenly missing

Hi

I have experienced that sometimes Homebridge simply stops and my iPhone gets no response on all accessories. The error message in the log is saying the homebridge-automower plug-in is not installed. It happened yesterday, and I do not know what triggers this.

When I go into Homebridge Config UI X, I can see that the plug-in is indeed missing. So I simply install the plug-in using Config UI X, and everything works fine again. I do not know why this happens (maybe new release of plug-in?) and therefore I also do not know if this is a problem in automower or Homebridge Config UI X.

However, I never experience this with the other 5 homebridge plug-ins I am using.

Thanks.

Action required: Greenkeeper could not be activated 🚨

🚨 You need to enable Continuous Integration on Greenkeeper branches of this repository. 🚨

To enable Greenkeeper, you need to make sure that a commit status is reported on all branches. This is required by Greenkeeper because it uses your CI build statuses to figure out when to notify you about breaking changes.

Since we didn’t receive a CI status on the greenkeeper/initial branch, it’s possible that you don’t have CI set up yet. We recommend using Travis CI, but Greenkeeper will work with every other CI service as well.

If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check how it’s configured. Make sure it is set to run on all new branches. If you don’t want it to run on absolutely every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with greenkeeper/.

Once you have installed and configured CI on this repository correctly, you’ll need to re-trigger Greenkeeper’s initial pull request. To do this, please click the 'fix repo' button on account.greenkeeper.io.

Homebridge crashing

Hi
Thanks for this binding. I am getting some wired problems that Homebridge is crashing after adding your plug-in. I am not 100 % though, because Homebridge is restarting and it has also a now and then problem this evening with a login to a cloud service.
However, it has now happen 2 times in row and both times the problem disappeared when I removed automower plug-in.
Therefore, this question: have you tested your plug-in with the new beta version 0.4.54 which has HAP-nodeJS 0.5.x? - see link
Thanks.

Edit: it seems to be working correct with the latest homebridge beta version. The problem occured if I installed and configured solely through homebridge-config-ui-x. There is no problem if I do a manual install of the plug-in and manual adding to config.json.
