Hi @all,
i recently found out that there is an api for the bosch indego lawn mower which was also integrated in an openhab binding.
Is there a component in hass to make use of this?

you the man!
I am happy to help where I can, but I would not know where to start…
Otherwise, testing etc… Just give me a shout
any updates here?
would be good to get one in before the summer! Although my mower broke after about 4 months of usage… grrr, has to get a new pcb under wattanty… still bummed…
is there any updates regarding this?
Hi,
sorry for my very late reply. I created a small python script to test the connection to the Bosch API and it is working fine so far.
Creating a Component for Home Assistant should be very easy for the developers. Any volunteers to create one? I will provide the code for authentication and a sample on how to read the status and set the state to mow / pause / returnToDock.
Cheers,
iMarkus
Hi,
I am not a developer but can have a go if you paste your work to date here?
Thanks
Sure, just use your Indegos serial, app username and password. This script reads the status and is able to send “mow”, “pause” and “returnToDock” (just uncomment the according lines).
Here you can find a full documentation of the API and status codes.
import json
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
serial = '123456789'
username = '[email protected]'
password = 'password'
api_url = 'https://api.indego.iot.bosch-si.com/api/v1/'
HTTP_HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE = 'Content-type'
CONTENT_TYPE_JSON = 'application/json'
header = {HTTP_HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE: CONTENT_TYPE_JSON}
body = {'device': '', 'os_type': 'Android', 'os_version': '4.0', 'dvc_manuf': 'unknown', 'dvc_type': 'unknown'}
jsonBody = json.dumps(body)
response = requests.post(api_url + 'authenticate', data=jsonBody, headers=header, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, password), timeout=30)
print(response.content)
print(response.status_code)
data = json.loads(response.content)
print(data)
contextId = data['contextId']
print(contextId)
header = {HTTP_HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE: CONTENT_TYPE_JSON, 'x-im-context-id': contextId}
response = requests.get(api_url + 'alms/' + serial + '/state', headers=header, timeout=30)
print(response.content)
print(response.status_code)
header = {HTTP_HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE: CONTENT_TYPE_JSON, 'x-im-context-id': contextId}
#body = {'state': 'mow'}
#body = {'state': 'pause'}
body = {'state': 'returnToDock'}
jsonBody = json.dumps(body)
response = requests.put(api_url + 'alms/' + serial + '/state', data=jsonBody, headers=header, timeout=30)
print(response.content)
print(response.status_code)
response = requests.delete(api_url + 'authenticate', headers=header, timeout=30)
print(response.status_code)I managed to create a component for the indego. Currently it is still in development but reading the state is already possible

Hi @all,
I recently sold my Indego but want to share my latest custom component I made.
Best regards,

Hi,
I am sorry you sold yours. Was it giving you problems? Anyway, I just wanted to check. I assume when you say in the docs on github:
Add new platform to your configuration.yaml
- platform: indego
host: api.indego.iot.bosch-si.com
port: 443
username: !secret indego_username
password: !secret indego_password
id: !secret indego_id
That this is under the Sensors?
Also, where would you add this part:
Finally add your new sensor called indego_state:
sensor.indego_state
Thanks very much for this.
Incidentally, I have now finally received my replacement 350 connect (yesterday) after my original apparently “blew the circuit board” in March after only 3 months… best robot lawnmower in terms of performance (love the stripes) customer service is appaling, and well hopefully this one lasts…
Thanks again for all your hard work on this…
HI, this is the error in my logs:
Error while setting up platform indego

i just added this under sensors:
- platform: indego
host: api.indego.iot.bosch-si.com
port: 443
username: !secret indego_username
password: !secret indego_password
id: !secret indego_id
copied indego.py to config/custom_components/sensor
restart and after that i had sensor.indego_state under dev-state
When you signed in to the app, did you create an account directly or use facebook or a 3rd party service?
I have a feeling my error is down to the authentication…
i just added this and it worked for me.
I however did add the wrong password first time (just spelling error) and got a similar error message as you have here. sadly i fixed it and deleted the log so dont have the exakt error anymore to compare.
But i would guess you have authentication error.
I created my indego account in the app first time just with mail and password.
Not really a answer to your question, only some input. Hope it helps somhow
