Roadmap

v0.1.0 — MVP

Goal: Installable integration with live telemetry and basic control.

Area	Deliverables
Config flow	DHCP discovery, manual IP entry, MQTT validation, naming step
Core entities	Battery sensor, activity sensor, charging binary_sensor, problem binary_sensor, head_type sensor
Control entities	Beep button, return_to_dock button, pause button, resume button, stop button
Events	`event` entity, `yarbo_job_started`, `yarbo_job_completed`, `yarbo_job_paused`, `yarbo_error`
Diagnostics	Robot SN, firmware version, MQTT connected, last seen, signal strength
Services	`yarbo.send_command`, `yarbo.pause`, `yarbo.resume`, `yarbo.return_to_dock`
Testing	40% coverage target

Goal: All sensor data surfaced; full light and switch control.

Area	Deliverables
Extended entities	RTK status, heading, chute angle, rain sensor, satellite count, charging power
Light entities	Group light entity, 7 individual LED channel lights
Switch entities	Buzzer switch, planning binary_sensor
Number entities	Chute velocity (-2000 to 2000)
Services	`yarbo.set_lights`, `yarbo.set_chute_velocity`
Events	`yarbo_head_changed`, `yarbo_low_battery`, `yarbo_controller_lost`
Blueprints	Low Battery Notification, Job Complete Notification
Options flow	`telemetry_throttle`, `auto_controller`
Testing	55% coverage target

Goal: Plan execution and weather-reactive automations.

Area	Deliverables
Services	`yarbo.start_plan`
Blueprints	Pause on Rain, Snow Deployment (all 4 blueprints complete)
Cloud auth	Optional cloud credentials in config flow and options flow
Options flow	`cloud_enabled` option
Testing	65% coverage target

Goal: GPS tracking, lawn mower platform, and UX improvements.

Area	Deliverables
GPS tracking	`device_tracker` entity from RTK coordinates
Lawn mower platform	`lawn_mower` entity for head types 1 and 2
Activity personality	`activity_personality` option (default, verbose, simple)
Logbook	Head change entries, job start/stop entries
Emergency stop	Emergency stop button entity
Testing	70% coverage target

Goal: Production-quality release eligible for HACS default repository inclusion.

Area	Deliverables
Firmware update	`update` entity with OTA trigger
Options flow	Full options flow with all settings
Repair flows	Auto-repair for lost controller, connection failure, SN mismatch
Translations	Complete `en.json`; skeleton files for `de`, `fr`, `zh-Hans`
CI/CD	GitHub Actions: lint, test, coverage gate, HACS validation
Brands PR	Submit to `home-assistant/brands` for official logo
Testing	80% coverage target

Feature	Notes
`yarbo-card`	Custom Lovelace card with robot map overlay and live status
Automated zone creation	Generate HA zones from Yarbo plan boundaries
Camera proxy	Proxy robot camera feed via HA (v0.4+ firmware required)
Multi-robot dashboard	Aggregated view for households with multiple robots
Voice assistant integration	Expose mowing start/stop via Assist pipeline

Component	Minimum	Notes
Home Assistant	2024.12	DataUpdateCoordinator push API stable
python-yarbo	Pinned per release	See `manifest.json` requirements
HACS	1.34	Required for blueprint import UI
