Hi everyone,
I've built a custom integration and companion Lovelace card for the Cecotec Conga GrassHopper 500 robot mower (and likely other GrassHopper models using the sk-robot.com backend — same platform as Sunseeker and Adano mowers).
Integration
Real-time status via MQTT push (battery, WiFi, activity, errors)
Commands: start, pause, dock, edge mowing
Schedule management (read/write mowing schedules)
Rain delay control
Mowing mode selector (normal/edge)

Companion Card
Status bar with battery, activity, rain indicator
Context-aware controls (Start when docked, Pause+Dock when mowing)
Mowing mode toggle (Normal/Edge)
Collapsible schedule section with add/remove/edit

Installation
Both available via HACS as custom repositories. Just add the GitHub URLs and install.
Supported Devices
Cecotec Conga GrassHopper 500 (RMC502E20V-ECWNTS)
Potentially other models using the sk-robot.com OEM platform
If you have a different GrassHopper model and want to test, let me know!
