Lawn mowed saturates at 98%

[andre-richter]

I'm curious if anyone else sees this:

The lawn_mowed sensor for my M 700 always saturates at 98%, never goes to 100%, even if the lawn mowing clearly has completed.

If other see that too, it might be worth adding a small quirk to the code that bumps the sensor reported value from 98% -> 100%.

Thanks, Andre

It's what the api reports. And it fluctuates. Currently for me the Bosch app reports a completed mow, but percentage wise I'm seeing 89% completed. And I've seen other values too (I've also seen the 98 you're seeing, but also like 93%, so it really varies). I guess it actually skips some parts of the lawn sometimes but doesn't bother to go back for a small spot and reports mow complete.

Okay, if it is fluctuating this much, it might not be trivial to hardcode a quirk for saturation that works for everyone.

One approach could be to give users an optional variable in configuration.yaml, and the lawn_mowed sensor then does:

if lawn_mode_percent >= user_lawn_mode_complete_threshold
    return 100

return lawn_mode_percent

You can modify the custom_component in what way you want. that is the beauty of open-source. But I am not going to change the custom_component in order to get 100% if the API doesnt report that. The component is reporting the information it can read and understand from the API. So no change for now.

You could make a template-sensor with the function you described above. Maybe that is the easiest solution.
