I got a Robomow RS630. It does a great job mowing, but has no API or way to attach it to an HA system. However, it does have a power box that has status lights and a single button that can be pushed to toggle a mowing pause on / off.
In other projects, I have had success using an Insteon IO Linc and jumpers on either side of the switch to close the circuit (this had worked great with gate opener transmitters). In this control box, it seems the switch is normally CLOSED, so I don't know how I can break the circuit without replacing the switch, or perhaps using a physical relay/actuator to push the existing switch on the board.
Any ideas?
If I can figure this out, I can have the mower stay docked when the sprinklers are on, it's raining, or we're simply playing in the yard.
