Any way to use Alexa via Home Assistant to control it? So far I am using IFTTT and it is close to useless because of the up to 1 hour delay in updating status.
Hi, I got my Robolinho a few weeks ago and just started getting into automation and HA this week. I found your integration and as others wrote, the client credentials hack does not work anymore.
But I also wrote a mail to AL-KO and I also mentioned that their competitors provide public APIs. I am looking forward to hearing from them.
Years have passed, and in the meantime their API is open.
You can request access here: https://alko-garden.com/api-access
You will get an email back (might take a few days) with credentials and info how to request an access_token and refresh_token.
The API documentation is here: AL-KO Gardentech IoT API
I managed to request the access_token and the send commands to my mower. It is working fine. I’m using simple shell scripts and curl. To develop an integration for HA is beyond my knowledge.
You can find examples here: NOT an issue but important info · Issue #6 · jonkristian/alko · GitHub
I hope someone with more knowledge can update the AL-KO integration.
