Lymow robot mower integration

Trying to generate some support for Lymow to expose an API for the OnePlus mower. Or to see if anyone else has figured out a way to integrate it.

Hello lymowers,

thank you @Fruehling for pointing out, voted. I also wrote to the lymow support team for a +1 for this feature.

I was a little sad because I could not at least “start mowing” form HA. As we all know, we have all the data we need in our beloved Home Assistant to decide when it is a good moment to start mowing. Last Rain, Humidity of the grass, public holidays (do not use the lymow on these if you like your neighbours :wink:), just to name a few.

So I want to share my (ugly) workaround with you until we get a local or cloud API:

On my Android Phone

I installed Tasker on my Android phone. It can do the following:

  • Unlock your screen (Extended Unlock has to be enabled)
  • Start the lymow app
  • Click on the mower (Plugin AutoInput)
  • Click on Mow
  • Go back to sleep

Then I created a Profile of type Event > System > Intent Received.

In Action I defined

com.my.lymow.START

In Home Assistant

I created an automation which sends a signal to my phone and triggers the lymow start (triggers and conditions are removed to show the concept):

alias: Lymow Start Mowing
description: ""
triggers: []
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: notify.mobile_app_mobile_mathias
    data:
      message: command_broadcast_intent
      data:
        intent_package_name: net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
        intent_action: com.my.lymow.START
mode: single

Spooky but works.

Cheers
Mathias
