Third party integrations

Does anyone know if there is a way ton control an Eufy E15 or E18 lawn mower with HA?
I would like to open the garage door before mowing, or close it if raining :wink:

Thanks

Eufy integration only support light and switch. I would say ask maintainer but since it is legacy i wouldnt expect there to be one.

Eufy security is in HACS and has a lot of support. Looks like recent update as well so maybe maintainer is active. You can try that to see if there is support and also ask at GitHub if maintainer will add support if it doesnt exist.

How well does the mower work for you?
Do you have large property?
RTK perfect or have issues in your opinion?

Thx @tmjpugh

I wonder if the mower may not be considered as a vacuum robot.
In the Eufy iOS app, it appears in the Clean section. I will ask the Git owner.

I like this robot (Eufy E15).
I have had a Navimow H800 (with RTK) and i sold it.
RTK was not reliable in my garder. Perhaps because i am in the city (100sqf).
But the Eufy does a really good nav job only with its cameras ! I am really surprised ! But i know that my garden is simple to manage based on cameras.
I wouldnn’t recommend this robot for a large property.

Any progress on this? I am looking to purchase one of these mowers but need it to be able to signal a gate to open.

I would also love to see an integration for that. Just ordered one, currently there is no need for elaborated automation, though.

very interested in that brand and model too. would be amazing to see an eufy mower being integrated to home assistant

I’ve asked to the Git owners of the actual Eufy (robovac) integration, and it seems to be completely different between mowers and robovacs. :roll_eyes:
No news either from Eufy.

This mower is amazing, and the home assistant integration is essential to push more sophisticated automations.

@milimilo, did you receive any news? Spring is coming (at least in central Europe it is not that far away any more), I would like to control the mower via Home Assistant.

Any news would be great!

Warm regards

@DerZvenster @milimilo I’ve been dabbling around looking to get this to work. The Robovac is indeed purely working in MQTT, and I’ve done some scanning on the E15 to see if it has someting similar, it unfortunately doesn’t. But after doing a port scan on the device I noticed it started responding on 6668. This is commonly used by Tuya. From there on I was able to reverse engineer using tinytuya python library and started getting the DP value. This allowed me to read basic setting like status (start/pause/dock), cutting height, fault codes etc. The good news is that we can control these things fully local. But it didn’t provide a lot of other setting. So I further looked and it seems partly things are managed bij the tuya api which I’m still reverse engineering, but seems to have a lot more data. With that I’ve been able to setup an first integration. Some things are not fully functioning so planning to work on it a bit more and sharing it on github when it’s a bit more mature

Check this out guys: GitHub - jnicolaes/eufy-robomow-ha: Home Assistant integration for Eufy E15/E18 Robot Mowers. Just integrated my Eufy E15 into HA using this HACS integration.

this looks amazing. I am thinking about buying this mower but I am hesitant.

  1. Can you say something about how stable this is, do you use this as daily driver?
  2. does the mower need connection to your local lan all the time, hence the whole garden needs good wifi coverage?
  3. what would happen if I block the mowers internet access. can this integration be used for full local control to stop the mower from uploading all kinds of data into the cloud?

thank you

Waow! Thank you very much for this amazing job!

@plaufer1980 and everyone

It works like a charm!

One automation opens the garage door, waits a few secs, and starts the mowing.
Another one closes the door a few secs after the robot has docked.

Luv it! Thank you very much @plaufer1980 !

Of course, i have to forget the eufy schedule and weather functionality.
But it might be more flexible and accurate to create one in HA…

I love it. It is really stable and reliable, considering my garden.
It needs a connection to update its map. And of course to get remote controlled.
You need at least wifi where the base is. But it can be a cellular connection (the robot has an esim).
The integration works without internet access (tested) to start and dock. But it won’t be able to update its map as i said, nore polling the robot statuses.
I have a separate LAN for my iot with no access to my personnal LAN. And use firewall rules to allow HA to communicate with my iots.
