Automower Custom Component for Home Assistant. This is based off the work of yeah/jan's automower custom component.
This component is packaged for a current modern Home Assistant environment (0.93+) that will be easy to install for new users.
This is a custom component. Custom components are not installed by default in your Home Assistant installation. HACS is an Home Assistant store integration from which this integration can be easily installed and updated. By using HACS you will also make sure that any new versions are installed by default and as simple as the installation itself.
Add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
automower:
username: !secret husqvarna_username
password: !secret husqvarna_password
And add these secrets to your secrets.yaml
husqvarna_username: your@mail.com
husqvarna_password: yourpassword
This component will create a vacuum entity and a device_tracker entity for your automowers. The vacuum entity can be used to control the automower and view it's current status. Calling the vacuum.return_to_base service will park the automower until further notice, vacuum.stop will stop the mower in it's current location, and calling vacuum.start_pause service will resume your current schedule.
The device_tracker.entity can be used to return the current GPS coordinates of your mower. Home Assistant by default will not show device_trackers if they are in your home zone but you can follow the directions to add a Google Maps card and then adding the following to your camera config
