Domoticz

LS,

Gardena has added a few new items in their collection.
Does any of you have any experience with the Gardena Smart Water Control in Domoticz?

Which protocol is being used? ?

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I've also been looking at Gardena Smart Water Control, but I haven't seen anything live.
I think they use 868MHz and Lemonbeat.

Hey Jeroen,

I have also this question. How to implament the Gardena Smart Control into Domoticz?
It would be nice to see in Domoticz if and when a waterzone is activated.

There is a nice Python library for this but I cannot find a Domoticz plugin based on this library.

https://github.com/py-smart-gardena/py-smart-gardena
Perhaps you can program some simple python scripts yourself?

given the last update dates for that library, it will most likely not work anymore.
They changed the whole API during the winter.

I played around with the new one a bit, using Node-Red, but I am stuck at the websocket part, because NR can not create a websocket based on a dynamic URL at runtime.
The rest of the API is a lot less informative than it used to be, they removed a lot of information (collision information, charging cycles and other stuff).

I would be happy to share my flow so far, if anyone is interested.

According the issues it is still working. I think it is used as a base for the home assistant integration.

hmm...yes, seems they updated the authentication bits with the new logic.
in the meantime I ran a small python program against the websocket while my Sileno was mowing outside.
The amount of information that is being transmitted has become ridiculously small, compared to what they used to have:

Code: Select all

data=b'{"id":"a13397a7-20df-4c1e-9771-6e4b260751ee","type":"COMMON","attributes":{"name":{"value":"C3PO"},"batteryLevel":{"value":60,"timestamp":"2021-05-18T15:22:55.852+0000"},"batteryState":{"value":"OK","timestamp":"2021-05-18T14:37:02.926+0000"},"rfLinkLevel":{"value":90,"timestamp":"2021-05-18T14:06:45.032+0000"},"serial":{"value":"161206172"},"modelType":{"value":"GARDENA smart Mower"},"rfLinkState":{"value":"ONLINE"}}}'

really not much in it. There used to be a lot more data for the mower that was actually usable. I used to determine an estimate of the battery life by relating charging cycles to cutting time and stuff like that. all gone now

maybe for irrigation there is more in it, but for the mower I will just send it home and pause the schedule when it is raining. For that, the snapshot functionality is good enough.
very disapointing.

So....thanks to the shitty weather over the weekend...for those of you who want to play with it...:

I took the sample websocket python program from the Gardena site, fixed a few bugs and stitched it together with MQTT.
the program does create a websocket connection and then will transmit all 'realtime' data to MQTT with the out-topic 'Gardena/out'
You also can send commands to your device(s) using 'Gardena/in'.
Part of an command request is the 'service ID', that will be appended to the service url.
This appears to be device dependend of dynamic, so you will need to send it as the request ID in every command (see my Node-Red example).

What you need:

Gardena Account
Api Key (can be obtained here: https://developer.husqvarnagroup.cloud/ ... ng-started )
MQTT broker (I have a local one that doesn't require login data)
A machine running Python 3.8.4 (can be a windows machine, I'm running the program as a systemd service on a RPI)
Node-Red

requirements (unless you already have them):

Code: Select all

pip install websocket
pip install websocket-client
pip install paho-mqtt
pip install requests
pip install json

in the program you need to enter your data in the top section:

Login information
broker information

Please note:
I am not a python developer, so the program may be a bit rough around the edges. Some additional error handling may be required. Feel free to adjust to your needs. That beeing said, anything you may break is entirely on you.
I'm running this for a few days now and so far it works as expected.
if this turns out to be a usable thing, maybe some real developer can make a plugin out of it.
I can only test it with my mower, but it should work with irrigation too.
unfortunately, the API documentation is the same kind of crappy as the API itself.

Hi

I Don;t see why I should install the pyhton script and where the relation with the Nodered flow is.
Where is the pyhton script called from the node red (as i presume that it is called)

Well....first of all I do not really expect you to do anything...

I'm just presenting the results of a rainy long weekend here, that led me to develop a usable solution to interface Gardena smart devices to NR and domoticz for now.

meaning no offense, but from what I understand in your message, you don't seem to be familiar with the concept of P&S interfaces in general and the MQTT protocol specifically.

the python program simply provides bi-directional interaction of the proprietary REST API from husqvarna/Garden with standard MQTT protocol.
from there you can then use it from Node-Red to implement logic and/or feed it into Domoticz, like in the small Node-Red example flow I provided.
That flow feeds a few domoticz devices and implements a simple logic that sends my mower home when it is raining above a specified rate. Additionally it provides a 'Main Switch' that suspends mower operation if required, which may be useful, if you got kids playing outside or having your gardener running around.

Any other solution may work too
