Installation

pip install gardena-smart-local-api

Using the Library

Have a look at our example code.

You can run the examples from within the repository as follows:

uv sync --group examples
uv run gardena_smart_local_api/examples/irrigation.py --help

Debugging

Various strategies exist to figure out why things are not working the way you want them to. This section lists some common ones.

Verbose logging on the gateway

websocketd:

mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/websocketd.service.d
cat << EOF > /etc/systemd/system/websocketd.service.d/debug.conf
[Service]
Environment=RUST_LOG=debug
EOF
systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart websocketd.service

lemonbeatd:

mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/lemonbeatd.service.d
cat << EOF > /etc/systemd/system/lemonbeatd.service.d/debug.conf
[Service]
Environment=RUST_LOG=debug
EOF
systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart lemonbeatd.service

lwm2mserver (add --log-level=lwm2mserver.event=DEBUG as a argument to lwm2mserver):

mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/lwm2mserver.service.d
cat << EOF > /etc/systemd/system/lwm2mserver.service.d/debug.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/lwm2mserver ppp0 --bind-to-device \\
                                    --server-uri "coap://[fc00::6:100:0:0]" \\
                                    --port 20017 \\
                                    --lemonbeat-dongle-connection \\
                                    --state-storage /var/lib/lwm2mserver \\
                                    --lb-key-file /var/lib/lemonbeatd/Network_management/Network_key.json \\
                                    --ipso-directories "\${IPSO_REGISTRY_DIR}/base" "\${IPSO_REGISTRY_DIR}/fwrolloutd" "\${IPSO_REGISTRY_DIR}/dev" \\
                                    --log-level=lwm2mserver.event=DEBUG \\
EOF
systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart lwm2mserver.service

cloudadapter:

mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/cloudadapter.service.d
cat << EOF > /etc/systemd/system/cloudadapter.service.d/debug.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/cloudadapter --verbosity --debug
EOF
systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart cloudadapter.service

Tip

Cloudadapter is not needed for local usage and disabling the service saves resources. However, for reverse-engineering how the services react to actions in the app, keeping the cloudadapter running and increasing its verbosity is helpful.

Commits

Try to keep commits reviewable, i.e. they should only contain one logical change and generally not be too big.

As we use rebase to integrate pull requests, clean commits matter. Use commands like git commit --amend, git commit --fixup ... and git rebase --interactive ... to rework your commits. Should this be too advanced for you, just push temporary commits and when review is done, run e.g.:

git fetch
git rebase origin/main
git reset origin/main
git commit --all
git push --force-with-lease

For the commit message(s), follow these guidelines. If you are unsure how to formulate your commit messages, look at git log for inspiration.
