> Your integration with automower connect looks great. I have an 430x since a few days and Im also interessted to integrate it in OH.

I’m about to purchase the same Husqvarna Automower 430X.

I noticed that these recent models have an API, and are able to connect to Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT ([see this link](https://www.husqvarna.com/uk/lawn-garden/smart-home-integration/)). This makes the [Robonect module](https://www.robonect-shop.de/) or any other other hardware unnecessary (at least for the models that have Automower Connect).

Specific API documentation can be found here:

> **[Husqvarna Developer Portal](https://developer.husqvarnagroup.cloud/apis/Automower+Connect+API)**
>
> Husqvarna Group - Developer Portal

Does anyone have experience with this API?

Im think about start developing a binding for husqvarna mowers. Currently I use the previously mentioned pyhusmow solution. But would like to have more flexibility, eg. set weekly timer. I started testing the Husqvarna Group API and the auth process is quite clear. I still have to test setting new timers. But I‘m optimistic to be successful there. Everything works fine manually with Postman. If someone has already started some work, it would be nice if the source can be shared somewhere.

I not really started, except setting up the development environment (which is up-and-running)  
My spare time is limited atm. But I hope to free more time from mid december. Anyway, my mower currently hangs around as the season is over 😉 I will post a new thread as soon something is ready to test.

If you have the source public on github I can help you with the development.

I am not a Java Guru but I have done some bindings.

Hello,

I am working on a Rest Web-Service Interface based on an esp 8266. So needed Hardware would be about 4€. The first tests seems to work fine. I will hold you updated.

Here’s how to control your Husqvarna Automower:

Create an Application at [Husqvarna Developer Portal](https://developer.1689.cloud/apps)  
You can log in with your Husqvarna Automower Connect app credentials (\<YOUR\_EMAIL\> & \<YOUR\_PASSWORD\>).

Add Authentication API and Automower Connect API to your application.

Take note of your Application key \<YOUR\_APPLICATION\_ID\> as you’ll need it later.

1. Get your ACCESS TOKEN:  
curl -X POST -d “grant\_type=password&client\_id=\<YOUR\_APPLICATION\_ID\>&username=\<YOUR\_EMAIL\>&password=\<YOUR\_PASSWORD\>” [https://api.authentication.husqvarnagroup.dev/v1/oauth2/token](https://api.authentication.husqvarnagroup.dev/v1/oauth2/token)

2. Get your MOWER ID (in case you don’t know):  
curl -X GET “[https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers](https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers)”  
-H “accept: application/vnd.api+json”  
-H “X-Api-Key: \<YOUR\_APPLICATION\_ID\>”  
-H “Authorization: Bearer \<ACCESS\_TOKEN\>”  
-H “Authorization-Provider: husqvarna”

Here’s your mower ID:  
{  
“data”: [  
{  
“type”: “mower”,  
“id”: “\<MOWER\_ID\>”,

1. Get info on your mower:  
curl -X GET “[https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/](https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/)\<MOWER\_ID\>”  
-H “accept: application/vnd.api+json”  
-H “X-Api-Key: \<YOUR\_APPLICATION\_ID\>”  
-H “Authorization: Bearer \<ACCESS\_TOKEN\>”  
-H “Authorization-Provider: husqvarna”

2. Command your mower, some examples:  
Start mower, duration 10 minutes:  
curl -X POST “[https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/](https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/)\<MOWER\_ID\>/actions”  
-H “accept: _/_”  
-H “X-Api-Key: \<YOUR\_APPLICATION\_ID\>”  
-H “Authorization: Bearer \<ACCESS\_TOKEN\>”  
-H “Authorization-Provider: husqvarna”  
-H “Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json”  
-d “{"data":{"type":"Start","attributes":{"duration":10}}}”

Park duration 30 minutes:  
curl -X POST “[https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/](https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/)\<MOWER\_ID\>/actions”  
-H “accept: _/_”  
-H “X-Api-Key: \<YOUR\_APPLICATION\_ID\>”  
-H “Authorization: Bearer \<ACCESS\_TOKEN\>”  
-H “Authorization-Provider: husqvarna”  
-H “Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json”  
-d “{"data":{"type":"Park","attributes":{"duration":30}}}”

ParkUntilNextSchedule:  
curl -X POST “[https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/](https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/)\<MOWER\_ID\>/actions”  
-H “accept: _/_”  
-H “X-Api-Key: \<YOUR\_APPLICATION\_ID\>”  
-H “Authorization: Bearer \<ACCESS\_TOKEN\>”  
-H “Authorization-Provider: husqvarna”  
-H “Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json”  
-d “{"data":{"type":"ParkUntilNextSchedule"}}”

ResumeSchedule:  
curl -X POST “[https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/](https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers/)\<MOWER\_ID\>/actions”  
-H “accept: _/_”  
-H “X-Api-Key: \<YOUR\_APPLICATION\_ID\>”  
-H “Authorization: Bearer \<ACCESS\_TOKEN\>”  
-H “Authorization-Provider: husqvarna”  
-H “Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json”  
-d “{"data":{"type":"ResumeSchedule"}}”

Further commands here:

> Husqvarna Group - Developer Portal

It all works for me nicely and smoothly. But pretty please can someone of you guys make a rule or phtyon script out of it?

Thanks,  
Peter

</div>

I tried the API, using the HTTP Binding. First I got an access token using the command line

```auto
curl -X POST -d \ 
"grant_type=password&client_id=<APP KEY>&username=<USERNAME>&password<PASSWORD>" \ 
https://api.authentication.husqvarnagroup.dev/v1/oauth2/token

```

Then using that access token in an item like this:

```auto
Number AutomowerBattery "AutomowerBattery [%d]" <battery> { http="<[https://api.amc.husqvarna.dev/v1/mowers{Authorization=Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>&Authorization-Provider=husqvarna&X-Api-Key=<YOUR_APPLICATION_ID>}:60000:JSONPATH($..battery.batteryPercent)]" }

```

It works fine until the token expires, of course. I haven’t done more than this. I guess the next step could be to manage tokens as described here:

This would be the binding I was talking about: [https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/pull/8050](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/pull/8050)

It is not yet merged but still a pull request. If someone is interested you can take it from my fork at: [GitHub - maxpg/openhab-addons: Add-ons for openHAB](https://github.com/maxpg/openhab-addons)

I tried to upload the jar file directly to allow testing without building it locally. Unfortunately I am not sure how to do it without affecting my pull request…

For a documentation regarding commands make sure to have a look at “openhab-addons/bundles/org.openhab.binding.automower/README.md”

@markus_pfleger, installed the build that @Rado1 uploaded, working great so far.

Hi @g_g_rich,

sure, I can add such a channel. Don’t needed it for my use cases, but should be easy to add.  
Not sure when I have time, but most likely it should be possible sometime later this week or during the next weekend.
