Hi all,
Anyone any recent information on this point? I’m trying to connect to the api without any luck. It just hangs on the credentials pop-up. After refresh, it then says “initialisation failed”
On the redirect URL I’ve tried adding these:
http://homeassistant.local:8123/auth/external/callback
https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ui.nabu.casa/redirect/oauth
currently running Home Assistant 2023.7.1 and Installed Garden V1.0.0 integration via HACS.
I got it working - I signed up to the dev-portal with a different email address (new account) instead of using the email address I originally used to create the Gardena app account. In other words, the smart-phone app and the developer account should use the same credentials
I have the smart water control and sensor running nicely in HA.
I was just wondering if anyone knows why the smart water control automagically switches itself off after 25mins?

You can set a default runtime within the Gardena App under Smart Water Contoll, Settings, manual button. When you use a button within home assistant it’s basically the same as pressing the button on the device.
Within the settings of the HA integration you also can set the default times.
Hi Sebastian, can you share your Card Smart Sileno please?
Sorry for the (very) late response. It’s correct what you are saying. I was looking at the Husqvarna API and not the Gardena Smart API. With the Husqvarna API you can get the GPS location of the mower. So I could check if the mower is in a certain HA zone and send him back if we are not home. It would be great to have this functionality in the Gardena API.
I am quite sure that none of the current Gardena mower models has a built in GPS. You can quite easily see that because all of them need a boundary cable and mow in a random pattern. Mowers with GPS are usually exactly those models that do not need a border cable and that mow in a controlled non-chaotic pattern.
So If I look on the map on the Gardena Mower app, I can see the mower (her name is Gloria) mowing. The location is correct. So I assumed this is GPS location.
Oh I see. I guess this is the new Gardena LONA system. Still with a border cable but nevertheless location aware. So I stand corrected: GPS coordinates would indeed make sense in the Gardena API for the latest mower generation.
