IP-Symcon-Mowercontrol via MQTT and cloud

This adapter connects IP-Symcon with your Worx-, Kress- ,Landxcape- or Ferrex-mower via Cloud. This bridge is based on the ioBroker.worx-Adapter from the ioBroker-Community. Thanks to all the people, who build this great adapter.

Requisites

To use this bridge, you need IP-Symcon V5.0 or newer and the newest Version of Node.js.

Setup

1. Make sure you have Node.js installed (tested with Node.js v18).
2. Check out the source code and build it:

   git clone https://github.com/nefiertsrebliS/mqtt-landroid-bridge.git
   cd mqtt-landroid-bridge
   npm install
   

3. Update config.json to match your environment.
4. Run the bridge:

   node bridge.js
   

5. Optional (Linux only):
   1. Set up an systemd script to start the bridge on system startup (see example in systemd-script folder).

Configuration

Please modify your config.json like this:

{
	"cloud": {
	    "email": "yourmail@mailserver.org",
	    "pwd": "TopSecret!",
	    "type": "worx"
	},
	"mqtt": {
	    "url": "mqtt://yourIPS-Server",
		"options":
		{
			"username": "justMe",
			"password": "MySecret",
			"port": 1883
		}
	},
	"mower": [
		{
		    "sn": "serialNumberOfYourMower",
		    "topic": "yourbestmower"
		}
	],
	"logLevel": "info"
}

where

• email and pwd are your login-data of your Cloud.
• type is the type of your Mower and Cloud. It may be worx, landxcape or kress.
• sn is the Serialnumber of your Mower. You may find it on your mower or on startup of this bridge in LogLevel "debug".
• topic is a MQTT-topic of your choice to subscribe to on your IP-Symcon-MQTT-Server. Make sure, that your IP-Symcon MQTTworxGateway uses the same topic.
• for logLevel you have the options debug, info, warn, error and silent. If you don't use a username or password, just leave the input field blank.

Managing multiple mowers in the same Cloud

If you have more than one mower connected to your Cloud Account, please modify your config.json like this:

{
	"cloud": {
	    "email": "yourmail@mailserver.org",
	    "pwd": "TopSecret!",
	    "type": "kress"
	},
	"mqtt": {
	    "url": "mqtt://yourIPS-Server",
		"options":
		{
			"username": "justMe",
			"password": "MySecret",
			"port": 1883
		}
	},
	"mower": [
		{
		    "sn": "serialNumberOfYourMower",
		    "topic": "yourbestmower"
		},
		{
		    "sn": "serialNumberOfYourSecondMower",
		    "topic": "yourOthermower"
		}
	],
	"logLevel": "debug"
}

Managing mowers in different Clouds

If your mowers ar in different clouds, please run seperat instances of this bridge for each cloud.

Recommendation for the winter break

If your mower is offline for a longer period, please disable the MQTT-Landroid-Bridge.

Connecting to IP-Symcon

To connect this Landroid Bridge to IP-Symcon, add the newest Version of the MQTTworx-Modul to your Symcon-installation after Landroid Bridge is up and running successfully (see above).
