Feature request: add Sensor that gets triggered in case of issues #9

Closed udochrist closed 2 years ago

udochrist commented 3 years ago

It would be great to get a notification in HomeKit when the mower is out of the area or stuck/lifted from the ground.

i think a simple sensor in HomeKit that gets set to on in this error-conditions should be enough to trigger a message on the phone/watch.

Thanks for the suggestion - I will check it out.

Hello, In my case, it can be nice if it’s possible to add sensor when mowing is starting and stopping. like this, I can have notifications from HomeKit. or When is on auto mode or off. the deal is to know when he can mower Thanks

Hello @Geoff-Hz I think I'll limit myself to error notifications as of now. As it is, I'm not able to change the way that the notifications look or what text/information they can contain.

I suggest maybe that you use the built-in functionality in Robonect, such as mqtt or push service, to get messages for mowing/returning home.

Best, David

I'm using the plugin in an oznzu homebridde docker container. do you know of any easy possibility to switch to that testing version using such homebridge containers?
