Home Assistant Custom Component for Bosch Indego Lawn Mower.

Entities in Home Asistant

Installation

Alternative 1

Install via HACS Community Store: https://hacs.xyz/

Alternative 2

Copy the folder indego in custom_components into your custom_components in your Home Assistant.

Reboot

Reboot HA in order to get HA to find the newly added custom component.

Configuration

Authentication using Bosch SingleKey ID

Bosch moved to a new authentication method called Bosch SingleKey ID (using OAuth) at the beginning of 2023. Therefore we needed to rewrite the authentication flow.

Currently only Google Chrome is the supported for authenticating with the Bosch SingleKey ID servers when adding the integration in HA. Also a small extension needs to be installed (temporarily) in Google Chrome to handle the response from the Bosch authentication servers. More (technical) information on the why can be found in this issue.

Optionally you can remove or disable the extension after adding the Bosch Indego integration to HomeAssistant.

Installing the Chrome extension

  1. The HomeAssistant Indego authentication helper extension can be downloaded here.
  2. Extract the ZIP archive.
  3. Go to extensions in Google Chrome.
  4. Enable Developer mode (right top).
  5. Choose Load unpacked and select the unpacked extension.

Adding a mower

Make sure you are accessing your HomeAssistant through Google Chrome and have the HomeAssistant Indego authentication helper extension enabled (as described above).

Please add this integration through the HomeAssistant interface (Settings > Devices & Services > Add Integration). Search for Bosch Indego Mower. Configuration through YAML (configuration) files is no longer supported.

You can add this integration multiple times in case you own multiple Indego mowers.

All sensors are autodiscovered and should appear as "unused entities" after adding the component.

Contribution

If you experience any readings from your mower that the sensor does not read out correct (could be Alerts or mower state), please dont hesitate to write an issue. I need your input in order to make this component as useful as possible. All suggestions are welcome!

Known issues

  • A special Chrome plugin is required to complete the account linking in HomeAssistant.
  • The Bosch Cloud (running on Azure) might block this integration from time to time. You might see HTTP 4XX errors like 'The connection to the Bosch Indego API failed!'. This might happen during component setup or during state updates. In that case you might be able to workaround the issue by changing the user agent (in Settings > Devices & services > Bosch Indego Mower > Configure).
  • You might see HTTP 5XX errors from time to time (most of time once a day). In that case there is a problem on the Bosch Cloud side which is temporary unavailable.
  • HTTP 5XX errors can also occur right after you have sent an impossible command to the mower. Like docking the mower while it's already docked.
