Features: Edge cutting, resetting knife status, installing firmware updates.

Opened this issue · 1 comments

First, thanks for doing the hard work and writing this integration.
I've set it up today, and so far it works like a charm.

I know this is the very early stages, but one thing that I miss, is the ability to start the mover with "edge cutting" (bad translation perhaps) . Further resetting the knife service status and installing updates would be great - then there is no more need for the Intouch app :)

Many thanks for the great work from me too.

The integration also works perfectly for me with a Robolinho 1300!

I have also created 3 helper ‘input buttons’ and start the respective mode HOMING - IDLE - WORKING via an automation.
For the time being, I also have the respective button sent to me via Telegram when a button is pressed - but I will remove this later.

I also have the status change sent to me via Telegram using another automation.
If you/anyone are/is interested, I will be happy to share the automations.

It would be great if you could add the following features:

  • Reset of the blade status (as NickyM has already mentioned)
  • Start software update if available (as NickyM has already mentioned)
  • Mowing mode (activityMode / marginMode / narrowPassageMode)
  • Starting point (entrypoint -> may be this is an integer from 1 to 5)
    I believe that 1 = start base state / 2 = random start point / 3 = start point 1 (if configured) / 4 = start point 2 (if configured) / 5 = start point 3 (if configured)
  • Mowing duration (duration -> may be this ia an integer from 15 to 225 in steps of 15)
    In my opinion, however, this only makes sense from 60 to 180 in steps of 30

Here is a screenshot from the API and SDK Documentation:

Of course I am available for tests and again: many thanks for your work until now.

Best regards
