Home Assistant integration for Gardena Smart System

Custom component to support Gardena Smart System devices.

About

This component is originally based on https://github.com/grm/home-assistant/tree/feature/smart_gardena and https://github.com/grm/py-smart-gardena

The integration / component has been changed quite a lot, mainly to add support for config flow setup and Home Assistant devices. It has also been cleaned up and some bugs have been fixed. Gardena devices are now represented as Home Assistant devices, which have battery level sensors where applicable.

The py-smart-gardena has been forked and is now https://github.com/osks/py-smart-gardena2 and modelType / model_type has been added.

Installation

Requires Home Assistant 0.110 or newer.

HACS

Use "https://github.com/osks/hass-gardena-smart-system" as URL for custom repository.

Even though this integration can be installed and configured via the Home Assistant GUI (uses config flow), you might have to restart Home Assistant to get it working.

Manual custom component

cd <path>/<to>/<your>/<config>
git clone https://github.com/osks/hass-gardena-smart-system.git
mkdir custom_components (if not exist)
cd custom_components
ln -s ../hass-gardena-smart-system/custom_components/gardena_smart_system

Configuration

Home Assistant

Setup under Integrations in Home Assistant, search for "Gardena Smart System". You need to enter e-mail, password and client ID (also called application key). See below for how to get your Gardena client ID.

After setting up the integration, you can adjust some options on the integration panel for it.

Gardena Client ID / Application Key

In order to use this integration you must get a client ID / Application Key from Gardena.

1. Go to https://developer.1689.cloud/

2. Create an account if needed, otherwise sign in with your Gardena account.

3. After singing in you will be automatically redirected to "Your applications". (Otherwise go to https://developer.1689.cloud/apps)

4. Create an new application, name it for example "My Home Assistant" (doesn't matter), leave the other fields empty.

5. Click on "Connect new API" and connect the Authentication API and the GARDENA smart system API.
