Husqvarna automower node server

This is the Husqvarna automower node server for the Universal Devices ISY994i Polyglot interface with Polyglot V2 (c) 2018 Robert Paauwe MIT license.

This node server is intended to interact with Husqvarna Automowers. It can track the mowers status and send commands to control the mower.Husqvarna You will need account access to your mower(s) via the Automower API.

Currently, only one mower is supported.

Installation

1. Backup Your ISY in case of problems!
   • Really, do the backup, please
2. Go to the Polyglot Store in the UI and install.
3. Add NodeServer in Polyglot Web
   • After the install completes, Polyglot will reboot your ISY, you can watch the status in the main polyglot log.
4. Once your ISY is back up open the Admin Console.
5. Configure the node server with your account username and password.

Requirements

1. Polyglot V2 itself should be run on Raspian Stretch. To check your version, cat /etc/os-release and the first line should look like PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)". It is possible to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch, but I would recommend just re-imaging the SD card. Some helpful links:
   • https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbian-stretch/
   • https://linuxconfig.org/raspbian-gnu-linux-upgrade-from-jessie-to-raspbian-stretch-9
2. This has only been tested with ISY 5.0.13 so it is not guaranteed to work with any other version.

Upgrading

Open the Polyglot web page, go to nodeserver store and click "Update" for "Husqvarna automower".

For Polyglot 2.0.35, hit "Cancel" in the update window so the profile will not be updated and ISY rebooted. The install procedure will properly handle this for you. This will change with 2.0.36, for that version you will always say "No" and let the install procedure handle it for you as well.

Then restart the Husqvarna automower nodeserver by selecting it in the Polyglot dashboard and select Control -> Restart, then watch the log to make sure everything goes well.

The Husqvarna automower nodeserver keeps track of the version number and when a profile rebuild is necessary. The profile/version.txt will contain the Husqvarna automower profile_version which is updated in server.json when the profile should be rebuilt.
