Solution Roberto - ArveVM/MyAssistedHome GitHub Wiki

Why

  • Wanted some control over 'dumb' robotic lawn-mover,,

Focus so far have been on:

  • Cam to visualize lawn/charging station, power-plug to get some indications of status, chip/card

Credits/inspiration:

  • Erlend Sellie - get link to his tips

Requirements/install tips/troubleshooting:

Click to unfold list of booring requirements, tips etc

Functionality used (other than what is builtin in my version of HA):

  • Frigate, camera on charging-station/lawn
  • HACS: Lovelace-Mushroom card-package
  • HACS: browser mod - for popup-functionality
  • Packages-folder, to copy entire yaml-config in one file
  • YAML-dashboard - easy share config, can use !include and re-use cards
    • as an option you can copy dashboard-config to UI-dashboard/card - but not if !include is used,,

template-editor test-code:

n/a



How it works (for me):

  • Cameara pointed to charging-station.
  • Smart-plug on charger, see how much power is consumed
    • template sensor to create status from current consumption
    • alert when cutting for +90min (means stuck somewhere and need assistance)
  • Card (see below)
    • se stats for blockages etc
    • link to github-wiki for further documentation
