Worx alwasy mowing

I´m pretty new to HA but I love it as far :slight_smile: But I have some issues one is that my Worx lawnmower status is mowing all the time, it never changes status even if it stopped mowing. The battery level is working fine the communication us working.

Anyone that have a similar issue or can guide me in the right direction to get this solved?

I have the same behavior. Did you figure it out?
Cheers

Sorry I have not, was thinking it has something with the language. Mine is running Swedish and I haven´t come around to test English yet.

Ok. My Home Assistant is in english (if that is what you meant).

I meant the the worx but changed mine just and still the same behavior:( I can see the battery indicator works 100% but not the sensor if its mowing or not.

Ok. Seems we have similar behavior. But there seems to be a differnence in how our machines operate. Your machine seems to start off a second mowing round directly when the battery reaches 100%, while my machine will stay docked for quite some while after the battery reaches 100%.

I haven’t observed the battery indicator for more than a day, so it is a bit too early to say if this is a fully repeatable behavior of my machine. It is configured for 0% mowing adjustment, so as far as I understand it should mow all the time (when scheduled to mow).

My Landroid is WG797E.1, by the way. I just realized that this model is not listed on https://www.home-assistant.io/components/sensor.worxlandroid/

I have a WG796E.1 and that´s listed to work…

I use version 2.66 and u?

ver 2.61 here. Date: 16-06-17. Time for update…

But it was the same behavior for this FW version:/ Would be nice if someone on this forum could say if they got it working or not, then we would know that there is something wrong in our setup´s.

I have the same problem it just says mowing all the time.

I have reported the issue and you can follow it here:

Thanks, will follow it.

About the battery level sensor: It is actually not working 100% for me. As I indicated in earlier post, my landroid remain docked for a while after reaching 100% battery level. When I inspected the landroid display, it actually shows a lower battery level than what is reported in Home assistant. I.e., the landroid is charging for a longer time than what is indicated by home assistant battery sensor.

Have you compared the batter status reported by home assistant to what is shown on the landroid display?

No I haven´t checked this, battery indicator is not so important to me. What I want to archive here is to get a notification in my phone when there is a error like the mower have stopped etc.

Please add you findings to my issue, would build a stronger case that it´s not working!

Thanks to Markus Dahlgren that made a workaround that seams to be working. Guys please test it and if you find any issue please report it.
