Husqvarna Automower monitoring

Cadish · June 23, 2020, 9:02am

I would like to use my own schedule and thus not use the one from Husqvarna itself. Is there a way to do this?

It’s impossible to remove any schedule from the Husqvarna app.
If there is nothing scheduled, and I use vacuum.start, it doesn’t start and thus doesn’t override the schedule from the app
If I add a schedule in the Husqvarna app, it will use that schedule, and not the one I’ve set in HA

Any idea on how to use only the schedule I’ve configured in HA?

Thanks
Cadish

Set the Husqvarna schedule to run 24/7

Cadish · June 23, 2020, 7:30pm

Of course! Will try.

Thanks a lot!

I wanted to make the same sensor but for the battery indication. But can´t seem to get the attribute wright. Have you an idea?

@JoeAstor
You have to made in your configuration

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
        batterij:
          friendly_name: 'Accu'
          unit_of_measurement: '%'
          value_template: "{{ states.vacuum.automower.attributes.battery_level }}"
          device_class: battery

I tried everything… but battery_level i never found it in all documentation. Thank you a lot

Agreed but I’m not aware of a way to show the satellite option with this.

Unfornately, OpenStreetMap doesn’t own/supply any satellite images. You can use a Google Maps camera card as described in the project documentation if you want satellite. That does require a few steps to get your own API key and you need to enable billing in Google, but I’ve never been charged.

jschwalbe · July 27, 2020, 5:37pm

Neat. I had considered that, looks like it doesn’t do the history/heatmap portion of it, or do you know otherwise? Wonder if one can use a screenshot/static image with the heatmap projected on it… hmmm

lowrisk75 · June 12, 2021, 8:42am

is there anyway at all to force an auto-mower to go to one specific zone?
to be fair I have two guide wires but even with Husqvarna app I don’t think its possible

secondary question, is there a way to use a drone pictures instead of a map?
although saying that, I don’t see how we could calibrate the coordinate with the picture?
perhaps setup with google map first, copy the picture and try to crop the picture?

blaha · June 12, 2021, 2:44pm

To your first question: yes, the app can do it. Menu > Settings > Installation > Lawn Coverage

GPS is sexy and all but if you turn it off you can direct your mower so many meters along such and such guide wire x% of the time. I found it better than GPS in the end.

lowrisk75 · June 13, 2021, 9:57am

Thank you, I disabled GPS, much better, also solve the issue when it’s was mowing nothing in the path between both lawn.

Has anyone ever tried to connect the automower via Bluetooth through an esp32? I would like to start-pause-dock my 315 (which is without sim/wifi connection)

Hi,

Since today I am getting the following error and Automower Plugin is not starting.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/setup.py", line 255, in _async_setup_component
    result = await task

Cadish · September 13, 2021, 6:55pm

Same for me!

Krsam74 · September 13, 2021, 7:14pm

Me too
I thought I screwed something up in my setup and restored a two day old full backup with no luck.
It seems the problem began when I restarted HA today for other reasons. Until then it worked perfectly.
Any ideas what causes this?

per.takman · September 13, 2021, 10:38pm

I see the same issue after restarting HA. Update to latest version did not resolve the issue. Looking forward to a solution!

matejSS · September 15, 2021, 7:32pm

Same for me too!

I have checked the code and it seems that Husqvarna API does not reply with ‘model’ field anymore (I have not found it in the response). I have simply changed the code to
self._model = 'G' # meta['model']
to avoid the problem. See MODELS list above for a code that corresponds to your model.

ebnerjoh · September 18, 2021, 6:37am

an update is avaialble and the issue is fixed
