Control and monitor your EEVE Mower Willow robot lawn mower directly from Home Assistant.
The integration talks to the mower's local REST API (http://<mower-ip>:8080) — no cloud required (local_polling).
It provides a full Home Assistant lawn mower entity (start / pause / dock), per-zone and global mowing settings, manual driving, map exploration, maintenance actions and a large set of status and diagnostic sensors. All entities have translated names (English / German) and language-independent entity IDs.
- Lawn mower entity – start mowing, pause and dock straight from the mower card.
- Zone control – pick the zone to mow, or configure each zone individually.
- Per-zone settings – mowing pattern, mowing frequency, obstacle sensitivity, cutting height and line-mowing direction for every grass zone.
- Rename zones from Home Assistant – every grass zone has a text entity; type a new name and it is written to the mower.
- Zones appear without a restart – add or clone a zone and its settings entities are created immediately.
- "All zones" shortcuts – set mowing pattern, frequency, obstacle sensitivity, cutting height or line direction for all zones at once.
- Global mowing settings – global pattern, frequency, mowing speed (m²/h), person-scanning behaviour, max mowing time, start time after sunrise.
- Manual driving – forward, backward, turn left/right, with adjustable drive speed.
- Map exploration – build map, start/stop/finish/abort exploration, auto-align maps.
- Safety & maintenance – emergency stop + release, reboot, shutdown, clear rain sensor, retry docking, resume tool planner, reset heatmap.
- Scheduling – enable/disable mowing per weekday, StarLight beacons, auto annotation.
- Status sensors – battery, activity, current mowing zone, session/today/total mowing time, docking & charge state, rain sensor, and more.
- Diagnostics – network (WiFi/mobile), hardware & firmware versions, motor controller, GPS, disk usage, camera calibration.
- Live camera – the mower's front camera as a Home Assistant camera entity.
- Zone geometry API – the
save_zonesservice writes zone GeoJSON back to the mower, which powers the companion map card. - Localized – full English and German translations; the device page is grouped into Controls, Configuration and Diagnostic sections.
- Open HACS in Home Assistant.
- Menu (⋮) → Custom repositories.
- Add the URL
https://github.com/flame4ever/eeve_mower_willowwith category Integration. - Search for EEVE Mower Willow and install it.
- Restart Home Assistant.
- Copy the
eeve_mower_willowfolder intoconfig/custom_components/. - Restart Home Assistant.
Requirements: Home Assistant 2024.1.0 or newer, and the mower reachable on your local network.
- Go to Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration.
- Search for EEVE Mower Willow.
- Enter a mower name and the IP address of your mower (e.g.
192.168.1.23). - Submit — the entities are created automatically.
Entity IDs are shown with the device prefix eeve_mower (your mower's name may differ). Names are localized.
lawn_mower.eeve_mower– main mower entity (Start / Pause / Dock)camera.mower_camera– front camera live image
- Emergency stop / release emergency stop

- Docking: start docking, stop docking, retry docking
- Stop (halt current navigation), play sound, stop sound
- Global: mowing zone, mowing speed, global mowing pattern, mowing frequency, obstacle sensitivity, person scanning, show emotion
- Per zone (× each grass zone): mowing pattern, mowing frequency, obstacle sensitivity, mower height, line direction
- All zones: mower height, line direction, mowing pattern, mowing frequency, obstacle sensitivity
- Numbers: max mowing time, manual drive speed, start time after sunrise, volume, low battery threshold
- Switches: mow on Monday … Sunday, StarLight beacons, auto annotation
- Maintenance buttons: reboot, shutdown, clear rain sensor, build map, start/stop/finish/abort exploration, auto-align maps, resume tool planner, reset heatmap
- Text: mower name, plus one name entity per grass zone for renaming
- Battery, activity, scheduler, tool planner status
- Zone map (zone layout, used by the map card)
- Current mowing zone, session / today / total mowing time, today end time
- Docking state, charge status, charger state, charging current & power
- Rain sensor, last rain
- Network: state, WiFi (SSID, signal, IP, state), mobile (state, reason)
- Hardware & firmware versions, serial number, mower type
- Motor controller (firmware, hardware, serial, type, uptime), blade RPM
- GPS, boot count, exploring state, disk capacity/free, SLAM odometry, distances
- Binary sensors: is mowing, is docked, is charging, is returning, has error, is recording map, camera lens calibrated
The integration registers two services (Developer Tools → Actions):
Drives the mower manually (requires manual driving mode). If the mowing motor was running before the manoeuvre, it is re-engaged afterwards.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
action |
forward, backwards, spin or stop (required) |
speed |
driving speed in m/s (default 0.2) |
distance |
travel distance in m for forward / backwards (default 0.3) |
turn_radius |
curve radius in m while driving, 0 = straight (default 0.0) |
rotation |
rotation in degrees for spin, negative = left (default 0.0) |
entry_id |
optional — target a specific mower if you have more than one |
Sends a single short movement; call it repeatedly for continuous driving. This is what the joystick in the companion card does.
Writes a complete zone layout to the mower and refreshes the cached zone data. New or cloned zones become Home Assistant entities right away — no restart needed.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
geojson |
a GeoJSON FeatureCollection describing all zones |
This is the service the companion map card uses when you draw, clone or rename zones on the map.
Two Lovelace cards build on top of this integration, each in its own HACS-installable repository:
- EEVE Mower Card (v0.3.0+) –
custom:eeve-mower-card, a self-building control panel: live camera with status chips and the mower's AI detection overlays, joystick, all controls and every zone / global setting. - EEVE Mower Map Card (v0.1.0+) –
custom:eeve-mower-map-card, a satellite map of your mowing zones with the live mower position and an editor to draw, clone and rename zones.
Existing entities are preserved on upgrade — their unique IDs are kept stable, so dashboards and automations that reference battery, network, camera, reboot/stop and the other original entities keep working.
Nothing to do. The release only adds entities (one name entity per grass zone, plus zone_map) and the
save_zones service. device_tracker.py, which was never loaded and had no effect, was removed — GPS data
is unchanged and remains available via sensor.gps.
Two things change and are expected:
- The old
switch.start_mowing("Start Mowing") andswitch.go_back_to_the_dock("Go back to the Dock") switches are replaced by the newlawn_mowerentity (Start / Dock). - The "Stop Mowing" button was removed (use the lawn mower's pause/dock, or the Stop button).
After the update these no longer-provided entities appear as unavailable; you can safely delete them from the device page.
