Lawn Mower Card

Based on https://github.com/denysdovhan/vacuum-card and https://github.com/bhuebschen/lawn-mower-card

Lawn Mower card for Home Assistant Lovelace UI

By default, Home Assistant does not provide any card for controlling lawn mowers. This card displays the state and allows to control your robot.

Installing

HACS

This card is available in HACS (Home Assistant Community Store) as a custom repository.

Just add the https://github.com/cociweb/lawn-mower-card repository.

Manual

1. Download lawn-mower-card.js file from the latest-release.

2. Put lawn-mower-card.js file into your config/www folder.

3. Add reference to lawn-mower-card.js in Lovelace. There's two way to do that:

   1. Using UI: Configuration → Lovelace Dashboards → Resources Tab → Click Plus button → Set Url as /local/lawn-mower-card.js → Set Resource type as JavaScript Module. Note: If you do not see the Resources Tab, you will need to enable Advanced Mode in your User Profile

   2. Using YAML: Add following code to lovelace section.

      resources:
        - url: /local/lawn-mower-card.js
          type: module

4. Add custom:lawn-mower-card to Lovelace UI as any other card (using either editor or YAML configuration).

Usage

This card can be configured using Lovelace UI editor.

1. In Lovelace UI, click 3 dots in top left corner.
2. Click Configure UI.
3. Click Plus button to add a new card.
4. Find Custom: Lawn Mower Card in the list.
5. Choose entity.
6. Now you should see the preview of the card!

Sorry, no support for actions, shortcuts and stats in visual config yet.

Typical example of using this card in YAML config would look like this:

type: custom:lawn-mower-card
entity: lawn_mower.lawn_mower
battery: sensor.lawn_mower_battery
show_toolbar: true
show_shortcuts: false
actions:
  start:
    service: lawn_mower.start_mowing
    service_data:
      entity_id: lawn_mover.sedat

    - entity_id: sensor.lawn_mower_bladeslifetime
      unit: '%'
      subtitle: Blades
    - entity_id: sensor.lawn_mower_lensbruh
      unit: '%'
      subtitle: Lens brush
  mowing:
    - entity_id: sensor.lawn_mower_area_mowed
      subtitle: Area mowed
