Open Source Contributions

Category: Open source  |  Status: Ongoing

Work contributed back to the open-source projects this portfolio depends on, plus automation published for others to reuse.

Robotic mower integration

Fixes and improvements to the Python library and Home Assistant integration for a line of robotic lawn mowers, developed against a device whose model was not well supported when the work started.

Contributions to-date include device-support fixes submitted upstream and diagnostic work on a video-streaming failure affecting multiple users. The proposed resolution is a diagnostic patch to capture the raw response and settle the question with evidence.

Home automation blueprints

Published Home Assistant blueprints for hardware in regular use — mower completion notifications, alerts for a stranded or lifted mower, and universal button and LED-group logic for a scene controller. Small, practical automations, shared because the next person should not have to work them out again.
