A robotic mower is very similar in functions to a robotic vacuum. Could we have a template mower like we have for vacuums?
The functions are start, stop, pause, error, and return to base.
Fully agree - this would be really handy and helpful
Mowers don’t exist in home assistant. Just make a template vacuum. The UI will treat it the same way.
Yes but the downside is that the state „mowing“ would be called „cleaning“. It would be better if the vacuum active state would be called „working“ as this would fit both vacuums and lawn mowers as well as also other robots.
From my point of view it would be best if the Template Vacuum would be redefined as a more generic „Template Robot“ and then additionally allow to customize the state wording for example.
