Donation

It took me quite some effort to get the plugin available, including with the Husqvarna helpdesk because of some bugs in the management of the API calls. Small contributions are thus very welcome...

Domoticz-Husqvarna-Automower-plugin

Domoticz plugin for Husqvarna automowers.

The plugin allows you to monotor the status of your automower, including the battery status. It offers the possibility to trigger different actions like start mowing, pausing and parking.

I personally de-activated the scheduling system of the automower itself and the timers are completely managed by Domoticz.

Husqvarna API

This Husqvarna plugin makes use of the offical Husqvarna API. Consult Husqvarna API for more information.

Create an Husqvarna account

Please follow the instructions on Signup.

Create the Domoticz application

Please follow the instructions on Create Application and use the following data:

  • Application name: MyDomoticz
  • Description: Husqvarna Application for Domoticz
  • Redirect URL: http://localhost:8080

Connect then the Authentication API and Husqvarna Automower API by by using the button CONNECT NEW API.

On the developer site, you will find now a client_id (or application_id) and a client_secret (or an application_secret). Enter both in the settings of the Domoticz plugin hardware settings...

Restrictions

  • When activating an action in Domoticz (eg start mowing), the action is not always executed immediately and it can take some seconds. This delay is mainly caused by the communication between the Husqvarna Cloud and the automower. Sometimes actions are scheduled in Husqvarna Cloud.
  • There is a restriction on the number of API calls by Husqvarna (max. 1 call per second or 10000 calls per month). This means that we can update the status at a maximal speed of once per 4.5 minutes. Take this into account when defining the update status interval in the Domoticz plugin hardware settings. The plugin implemented a "light" mechanism to avoid problem by changing automatically the update interval:
    • to one hour when the limit of 10000 calls/month is achieved
    • to one hour when the automower is off (eg during winter)
    • to three hours during night (between 10pm and 5am)

Automation ideas

  • You can link possible weather sensors with the Husqvarna mower. Eg. if it is start raining, the Husqvarna mower can be stopped mowing and return return to its charging station.
  • The device 'State' can be used to check if there has been an error occured; in case of error a notification could be sent.

Success!
