Unable to Pair 305 to HA Supervised #2

GitWally · 2024-03-25T19:45:43Z

Hello,
I have a HA Supervised with an external antenna, and would like to test the integration with my 305.
So I have installed the custom_component, but I'm unable to pair the automower.

This is the home-assistant.log right after HA re-start: 305 is in pair mode with low security.

xxx@yyy:~$ cat /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/home-assistant.log | grep mow

This is the full 2024-03-25_home-assistant.log.txt file

@alistair23 the message about PyBluez was due to bluetooth_tracker (which I have removed from configuration.yaml)
Thanks

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

It might be worth having a quick read of the log before posting an issue.

The error is

Could not reset the power state of the Bluetooth adapter hci0 [00:E0:03:00:1E:69] due to timeout after 5 seconds

So that seems like some issue with the Bluetooth adapter. There isn't much I can do to help with that. Maybe check the HA issues and see if there are any details there

alistair23 · 2024-03-26T11:35:23Z

It seems to be a common issue: home-assistant/core#107981

Maybe an ESPHome Proxy is a better solution?

GitWally · 2024-03-27T06:15:40Z

Hello @alistair23 ,
before thinking of a ESPHome Proxy, I found this other post which seems somehow similar.

I will try as soon as possibile and come back to you, sharing results.
Thanks

Hello @alistair23
messages in home-assistant.log obtained with cat /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/home-assistant.log | grep mow

I'm still using a HA Supervised with a Realtek RTL8761BU adapter (ZEXMTE)

Thanks

I see a

bleak.exc.BleakError: failed to discover services, device disconnected

and a

bleak.exc.BleakDBusError: [org.bluez.Error.Failed] Disconnected early

Which is inside the Bluetooth stack.

Maybe the mower is too far away for a reliable connection?

Don't think: the distance was less than 4 meters and the antenna should have a range of 180 (in fact in the past days it was discovering hundreds of devices).

Anyhow I tried once again, at less than 1 m (my wife is still screaming ...).
With cat /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/home-assistant.log | grep mow I have seen some differences:

Some comments related to time

08:40 > Host reboot
08:45 > Pairing attempt (PC with Chrome) browser > 305 exits from pairing mode after a while

All the messages between 08:40 and 08:45 are generated "spontaneously": i didn't start the pairing process at all.

This is the 20240329_home-assistant.log.txt: i made other attempts

As far as I can see, each time the paring begin (and never ends) there are these messages from automower_ble.mower:

Should I get most recent versions of the code?
Thanks

You are getting weird errors like this

Some sort of reliability issue there. It might take a few times, try reloading the integration a few times.

You also get this

Which is weird

Hello @alistair23
sorry for the delay, but it took me a while to receive an ESP32: in the end I decided to go with a BT proxy.

For those who are thinking to use an internal antenna (like I did), what the Bluetooth Integration page says:

In many cases, a better approach than a directly connected adapter or card is to use a Bluetooth proxy using an ESP32 since Linux kernel updates have previously broken Bluetooth functionality and Bluetooth driver support Linux generally falls behind other operating systems for newer adapters. A Bluetooth proxy is particularly interesting to users who virtualize their instance, where the USB pass-through may cause additional problems. More information is available in the Remote Adapters section below or by visiting ESPhome’s Bluetooth proxy page.

For the sake of completeness, I have:

created an ESP32 BT Proxy
installed ESPHome Add On
associated the new ESP BT Proxy to ESPHome
disabled my BT Integration (USB Antenna)
rebooted
put Husqvarna 305 in paring mode (with low security)
HA has detected a new device with Husqvarna Automower BLE Integration
pressed "configure" ...

and there you go: my brand new device is here ...

Many thanks!

alistair23 · 2024-04-05T09:15:16Z

Awesome! I'm glad it's working.

If you want to it might help if you go to home-assistant/core#108326 and comment that this works for you. That might help it get merged for others

Hi guys, I'm Alessandro from Italy.

I found this project amazing and soon I'll be back home I'll test this integration to finally control my stupid Automover with HA, so thank you so much for your effort.

From what I understood you are trying to get the approval to became an Official Integration in HA. Following your repo here I tryed to figure out how to setup the hardware and software.

Is it possible to integrate with ESPHome or is better to use a Bluetooth dongle? My HA server is downstairs and I think is better to have a Bluetooth repeater at floor garden, even better outside.

Could you provide a step-by-step installation guide? I'll be happy to test and help you by writing the guide as soon as I understand better the process.

Hello Alessandro
In my experience USB BT Dongle didn't work, despite being one of the "approved".

Follow my steps of my last message and it should work:

create an ESP32 BT Proxy
install ESPHome Add On
associate the new ESP BT Proxy to ESPHome
disable any BT Integration (USB Antenna) in case you have one
reboot
copy integration files (see this post https://github.com/alistair23/AutoMower-BLE/issues/1#issuecomment-2016393319)
put Husqvarna 305 in paring mode (with low security)
add the new integration
provide Husqvarna mac address

Bye

Documentation is available here: home-assistant/home-assistant.io#30921 (comment)

The PR includes details on setup and the PR comment contains details on setting up the component before it's merged. Feel free to file PRs against my fork for documentation updates
