A Home Assistant integration to monitor Robonect
- MQTT listener
- REST API client
- All Robonect sensors (if MQTT enabled priority to MQTT sensors over REST)
- Automower lawn mower entity
- Automower vacuum entity (remains until the lawn mower entity, introduced in 2023.9 will be fully developed)
- Buttons (change mode, start, stop, return home, ...)
- Service calls to Robonect actions, like scheduling a job, modifying a timer
MQTT sensors (when enabled) are enabled prior to the REST sensors, as they update faster.
The REST sensors, are updated on a configurable scan interval. When the mower is sleeping, only the status sensors are being updated (since the others have no activity and updating them would wake up the mower, resuling in a beep every time a scan happens). Example here: Rest sensor and the REST category
- Robonect for Home Assistant
Using HACS (recommended)
Click on this button:
or follow these steps:
- Simply search for
Robonectin HACS and install it easily. - Restart Home Assistant
- Add the 'Robonect' integration via HA Settings > 'Devices and Services' > 'Integrations'
- Provide your Robonect configuration details
- Copy the
custom_components/robonectdirectory of this repository asconfig/custom_components/robonectin your Home Assistant instalation. - Restart Home Assistant
- Add the 'robonect' integration via HA Settings > 'Devices and Services' > 'Integrations'
- Provide your Robonect configuration details
This integration will set up the following platforms.
| Platform | Description |
|---|---|

Home Assistant component for Robonect |
If you want to contribute to this please read the Contribution guidelines
- I am missing a lot of sensors: please check that the MQTT topic you have entered in the HA config flow equals the MQTT topic in Robonect
To enable debug logging, go to Settings -> Devices & Services and then click the triple dots for the Robonect integration and click Enable Debug Logging.
Once you enable debug logging, you ideally need to make the error happen. Run your automation, change up your device or whatever was giving you an error and then come back and disable Debug Logging. Disabling debug logging is the same as enabling, but now you will see Disable Debug Logging. After you disable debug logging, it will automatically prompt you to download your log file. Please provide this logfile.
Define a daily mowing time sensor by adding the followinng lines to your configuration.yaml:
sensor:
- platform: history_stats
name: Daily mowing time
entity_id: sensor.automower_mower_status
state: 2
type: time
start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
end: "{{ now() }}"In template.yaml, add the following:
- sensor:
- name: "Automower Battery Current"
unique_id: "sensor.automower_battery_current"
unit_of_measurement: "mA"
state: "{{ state_attr('sensor.automower_battery_0', 'current') | replace(' mA', '') | int(0) }}"
icon: "mdi:current-dc"
- name: "Automower Battery Voltage"
unique_id: "sensor.automower_battery_voltage"
unit_of_measurement: "V"
state: "{{ state_attr('sensor.automower_battery_0', 'voltage') | replace(' V', '') | float(0) }}"
icon: "mdi:sine-wave"
- name: "Automower Battery Temperature"
unique_id: "sensor.automower_battery_temperature"
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
state: "{{ state_attr('sensor.automower_battery_0', 'temperature') | replace(' °C', '') | float(0) }}"
icon: "mdi:temperature-celsius"
- name: "Automower Battery Capacity"
unique_id: "sensor.automower_battery_capacity"
unit_of_measurement: "mAh"
state: "{{ state_attr('sensor.automower_battery_0', 'capacity').remaining | replace(' mAh', '') | int(0) }}"
icon: "mdi:battery-charging-medium"
