Trying using that link I sent above – You will have to do some manual (one time steps) to get HACS installed – then it will make everything a lot easier.

hi walt, the integration works in principle (see position with tracker feature and status), but get the following “error log” - “schnippel” is the name of the mower. THX! uwe

Could not render template Mower status: str: Invalid entity ID ‘vacuum.Schnippel’
Hi all, lost here and probably missing the obvious :
I have an automation firing off the mower every day at 6 a.m depending on some weather conditions.
- id: '1584966556410'
alias: Mower start
description:
trigger:
- at: 06:00:00
platform: time
condition:
- below: '20'
condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.dark_sky_precip_probability
- above: '5'
condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.average_temp_next_2_days
- above: '5'
condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.dark_sky_temperature
action:
- data:
entity_id: vacuum.automower
entity_id: vacuum.automower
service: vacuum.turn_on
- data:
message: mower started
service: notify.mobile_app_iphone_rob
the automation works as I do receive the message on my phone so it seems trigger and conditions are set right.
the mower however refuses to leave it’s base…
When triggering the automation manually, it does start and as expected, I receive the message on my phone to confirm the mower starting
am i missing the obvious here .?
mower is ‘parked due to timer’ at the time it should start
Use vacuum.start_pause
thanks Walt, i could try but still doesn’t explain why a manually triggered automation does start the mower and a timed trigger fails.
How can i ignored the automatic stop time of 3 hours? When i start the mower with vacuum.start_pause, the mobile app said that he turns off within 3 hours. I want to let him do his job for 6 hours.
I found this on: https://developer.1689.cloud/apis/Automower+Connect+API#/readme
Start mower and cut for a duration of time, overriding schedule
const requestOptions = {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
'X-Api-Key': appKey,
'Authorization-Provider': 'husqvarna',
'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.api+json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
data: {
type: 'Start',
attributes: {
duration: 24
}
}
})
};
const commandResponse = await fetch(`https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/${mowerId}/actions`, requestOptions);
if (commandResponse.ok) {
// Your code...
}
@walt can you add the option to give a number of minutes that he has do to his job?
I have fix it with the api way but i have to generate each hour a new key.
This component is using the original Husqvarna API – On start, a simple START is sent with no duration:
I’m not terribly interested in porting over to the new API as it doesn’t include GPS coordinates, which I find very useful.
Do you perhaps have a schedule set on the mower? Can you just set it to mow 24x7 and then manage the mower schedule through Home Assistant?
wow that looks great… could you quickly describe how to get that heatmap card?
Do I have to setup anything with the device tracker for the bot first? I can see the current position on the map card, but no history…
No, you just need to have recorder setup (it is by default, usually) to track the history of your entities:
Yeah, I’ve got the recorder setup… When I click on the mower entity I have the history of when it cuts and charges etc… But when I click on the mower icon in the map all it says is “No state history found”, and accordingly no tracks on the map
EDIT: nevermind, I had device_trackers excluded from the recorder from way early, forgot about that. Now it shows “Home” as history. Just have to wait until tomorrow for some mower movement now.
Thanks for the help!

Anyone knows why https://developer.1689.cloud/ is down?
A few days ago I retrieved API key etc… but now I cannot access the https://developer.1689.cloud/
site to get the documentation I need on how to use the API.
Does anyone have a copy of the documentation?

Hey - solved !
It’s up and running again…
Hi, I have tried fro weeks now to get the Gogle maps tracking to work with my HACS Automower integration. I have followed = copied the instructions to the letter, using the correct key a.s.o.
Still, I get this error in the log - and an empty map as picture:
ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.generic.camera] Error parsing template Template(“https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center={{ states.device_tracker.automower.attributes.latitude }},{{ states.device_tracker.automower.attributes.longitude }}&zoom=19&size=500x500&maptype=satellite&markers=color:blue%7Clabel:P%7C{{ states.device_tracker.automower.attributes.latitude }},{{ states.device_tracker.automower.attributes.longitude }}&key=##############################”): UndefinedError: ‘None’ has no attribute ‘attributes’
Please help…
A better and easier option is to now just use the lovelace map history card:
The map history card is dead easy but without a satellite map option (which I can’t even find any hacks for) it’s not much good for telling where in your yard the mower is.
