Building a Web Interface for Luba

[mattreidy]

Hello!

I'm in the process of creating a web app using the PyMammotion lib. First off, excellent work here - you've really done a lot of discovery and trial and error to get to this point, I'm sure!

[mattreidy]

I'd like to know if you'd be open to me asking some questions about some of the inner workings as I attempt to work through my development. I have authentication and device info working at this point. Thx

Latest iteration attached and works for the batter info, getting an update every 10 secs. I'm just not "getting" how to properly implement your library fully perhaps.

Would it be too much to ask for a basic sample program with no bells and whistles that would show how to pull the different data that shows up when you click the header in the app (bluetooth, wifi, 4g, battery, different pos status info, sat info etc?) Maybe too tall an ask. I've tried to glean it by looking at the HA project without luck.

No promises, but I might pull something together today, or at least add some documentation around the current architecture, I've refrained from doing this as it's on its 3rd rewrite / large refactor

[mattreidy]

I'm in no rush - just a "fun" project for me here that I think some other's might like to use and I'm willing/able to host.

@mikey0000 a VERY crude prototype up and running here... https://luba.reidylabs.com/

So most of what you have is fine, but the easiest way to setup a mower is to do the following.

# commands interface

commands = MammotionCommand("Luba-****", int(cloud_client.mammotion_http.response.data.get('userInformation').get('userAccount')))

# Mammotion cloud interface
await mammotion.login_and_initiate_cloud(account, password)
# this sets up mqtt and all cloud connections required to send requests you can then fetch a device specifically by device name or iterate over devices.
# getting specific devices 
mammotion.get_device_by_name(device.deviceName)
# all messages get stored in each device but if you want to listen to specific events
device.cloud().set_notification_callback(your_callback)
# this will be called only when messages for that device have been received

Additionally I would avoid always logging in and instead storing the results of the login process in the same way HA does, so you can restore the connection without re-triggering a login, checking if the token is valid first.

State is stored on the device object itself already and stores a lot of information that comes back from events.

@mattreidy next time you do vibe coding, don't trust the AI to not log secrets...

LOL - yes, well, now you can control my mower ;)
