I am planning to create a binding for Husqvarna AutoMover as my second binding. I will look at [https://github.com/chrisz/pyhusmow](https://github.com/chrisz/pyhusmow) It seems that it uses Token based authorization. Is there any other binding that uses this where i can look. I am still struggling with learning Java ๐Ÿ™‚ /Mike ---

Seems in pyton that you post username and password and receive token informattion. ```csv def login(self, login, password): response = self.session.post(self._API_IM + 'token', headers=self._HEADERS, json={ "data": { "attributes": { "password": password, "username": login }, "type": "token" } }) response.raise_for_status() self.logger.info('Logged in successfully') json = response.json() self.set_token(json["data"]["id"], json["data"]["attributes"]["provider"]) return json["data"]["attributes"]["expires_in"] ``` /mike ---

I donโ€™t know what protocol that is. It looks custom and simple. There is probably no standard support out-of-the-box for it. So you need to implement something yourself. Using `HttpUtil` you should be able to get the token and store it in some cache. For some inspiration look this earlier Spotify api implementation. Itโ€™s based on OAuth2. The earlier implementation had OAuth2 implemented, but current PR uses the OAuth2 implementation part of openHAB. To give you an example here is the token cache handling: [https://github.com/Hilbrand/openhab2-addons/blob/spotify\_2.4.0/addons/binding/org.openhab.binding.spotify/src/main/java/org/openhab/binding/spotify/internal/oauth2/SpotifyAccessTokenCache.java](https://github.com/Hilbrand/openhab2-addons/blob/spotify_2.4.0/addons/binding/org.openhab.binding.spotify/src/main/java/org/openhab/binding/spotify/internal/oauth2/SpotifyAccessTokenCache.java) Just browser there to other files too and copy what you can use. Hope this helps somewhat. ---

Hi Michael, Do you know that there is an open API for Husqvarna Automower? > **[Husqvarna Developer Portal](https://developer.husqvarnagroup.cloud/apis/Automower+Connect+API)** > > Husqvarna Group - Developer Portal Regards Martin ---

I Know but was hoping this should happen ๐Ÿ™‚ > [@Automower Binding (G2)](https://community.openhab.org/t/automower-binding-g2/2854/25): > > 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 wink I will post a new thread as soon something is ready to test. /Mike ---

I started but with slow progress. Then I realized the API does not provide position coordianes (which is possible via the husmov solution). Means, atm I do not continue with the binding. But I hope the API will be expanded and will provide more data in the future. Until then I decided to live with the current solution. ![mower](https://community-openhab-org.s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/5/1/513610f221b9ca9b94ab8cdd0be631735de0e016.jpeg) ---
