Python plugin: Husqvarna automower

[Filip]

Just to inform you that I created a plugin for the Husqvarna automower. It makes use of the official Husqvarna API.
Code and information can be found at https://github.com/FilipDem/Domoticz-Hu ... wer-plugin.

Thanks for the plugin. I added it to the plugin list: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins

Very cool, thanks,

Do you also have a manual how to add it to Domoticz?

[Filip]

Hi,

this is available in https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Using_Python_plugins.
Best way that you run the Husqvarna.py in as command line to see if you have all working before installing in Domoticz. This will be useful to be sure that all the required python libraries are installed.

Be aware that I have currently a ticket open at the CloudAPI Husqvarna helpdesk... There are unexpected http 403 errors. However these are not real authentication errors, but rather timeout on the Husqvarna Cloud. They are working to find a solution.
This is not really blocking, just annoying getting from time to time such errors in Domoticz.

Of course this requires a minimum of knowledge of python.

Thanks for the info. I will manage.

Thank you for this info

[Filip]

I have currently a new version in which I implemented a retry mechanism. It is currently under testing...
@MassassiOrder, @Doudy: if you are happy with the plugin, contributions are always welcome to compensate my investment of time.
Kind regards,
F

Hello,

I have an Automower 310 Mark II which communicates via bluetooth!
Is your plugin functional with this type of machine?

[Filip]

It uses the Husqvarna Cloud solution... So if your mower doesn't support the Husqvarna Cloud, it will not work.

Good new: 1) Husqvarna solved the problem with the authentication errors! So the plugin runs now stable without generating errors due to the Husqvarna Cloud problem. 2) A new version of the plugin is uploaded doing retries (this was initially a workaround for the Husqvarna problems, but is anyway useful).
This runs now since a while at my side successfully! Enjoy.

[MassassiOrder]

Sorry I did not have time to install the plug in.

Do you also have a screenshot what you show in Domoticz?

@Doudy
I seem to have a problem. I do not have a Husqvarna, but a Gardena. The API and log in is all the same, but I get an error retrieving data from the mower.
Error: Gardena: No Husvarna mowers available in the list.
Looks like its looking in an other list or so.

I did change one URL in your code to https://api.smart.gardena.dev/v1 (instead of Husvarna)
Are there any other links I need to change?

Hi Fred,

The Cloud function for the Husqvarna and your plugin is that called "Automower® Connect" ?

I want to buy a Husqvarna, but the dealer is wll-known with hightech features like Domoticz
Thanks for your feedback !

Hi Filip,

I was very happy to find your plugin but I can't get it working.
It's added to Domoticz and I see it in the hardware, but it is not showing any devices.
It is showing some logging in Domoticz.

When I run it in the commandlint I get the following error:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\System32>python "C:\Program Files (x86)\Domoticz\plugin\Domoticz-Husqvarna-Automower-plugin\plugin.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Domoticz\plugin\Domoticz-Husqvarna-Automower-plugin\plugin.py", line 41, in <module>
    from domoticz_tools import *
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Domoticz\plugin\Domoticz-Husqvarna-Automower-plugin\domoticz_tools.py", line 17, in <module>
    import Domoticz
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Domoticz'

I really don't know what I have missed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards Frank

Hi, seems it cannot find the python library Domoticz. This should have come with the installation of Domoticz...
So i think it is rather a problem with the installation/setup of Domoticz than the plugin...
Have you already another python plugin running?

Hi Filip,

no, this is the first plugin Im using.
I was going to upgrade to the newest stable version of Domoticz.
Let's see if that solves the issue.

Hi Filip,
the hardware is added and I'm seeing the devices in the devicelist.
No errors in the logging anymore.

• Husqvarna - Actions

• Husqvarna - Run

• Husqvarna - State

• Husqvarna - Battery level

Are these the devices which should be visible?
They are updated so that all looks okay.

But....
I do not seem to get them visible in any tab. Not in the Switches and not in the Utilities overviews.
Very strange.
I did restart the pc and so Domoticz.

Any suggestions?

Did you assign devices to users? Check menu Setup - Users if devices are assigned to the logged in user (normally an admin). For an admin this assigned devices list should be empty.

Hi Waltervl,

I was still running the 2022.1 version.
I updated to the 2024.6 and a lot has changed between those 2 versions.
Great options have been added.

Thanks, they are visible now.
