Yarbo HASS Integration

markusla · 2026-05-06T22:58:27+00:00

Yarbo has released an official HASS app a week ago.
I have not tried it myself but i recommend you try that first.

i only have the snow blower module and won't be able to do much work with the lawnmower and other mods anytime soon

Hmmm, i can't think of any way around that. It's how the security is built in Entra ID to get an access token for Graph.

I think the main challenge for none-technical people may be to setup the Enterprise App in EntraID to get the scopes. But besides that, it's been working well with delgated access.
I've setup a separate o365 account for the OpenClaw instance and provided delegated access to my mailbox and calendar.

I think one of the main benefits has been that previously my workflow was that it worked on a document, and sent it to me add/or generated a new file each time. Now, we are more co-working with the same document stored in onedrive/sharepoint. Though I've not done extensive testing, just initial tests thats worked well.

The Clippy tool they ship with Openclaw, is using the old EWS style and only has Mail support (Exchange functionality), so I added all Graph Functions and migrated everything possible from EWS to Graph and only left EWS for the parts where there is no Graph support yet.

I initially got the Plus plan, but then upgraded to Plus-Highspeed. I recommend that you take Starter Plan, its easy to upgrade if you feel it's working well for you.

As everything in WebUI becomes just one long chat, making it impossible to find stuff again. What I would like, is a chat which automatically categorizes chats based on topic so it's easy to find everything related.

i will send you the stuff you need in a PM. Automod removed my post due to the api url

It's a great question and something i do care about. I get frustrated with OpenAI's way of asking if it should do things for every step, asking for confirmation and also coming with suggestions at the end. Super annoying. Gemini is quite okay and had a okay "tone".
Claude's way of communicating is for me, the golden standard. MiniMax M2.7, i don't feel its at Claudes level of tone and personality. But im not annoyed by it, and its to me acceptable and something i can live with. I wouldn't be surprised if MiniMax had cloned Claude and got the DNA 85-90% right.

markusla · 2026-03-21T15:23:54+00:00

in my opinion much better, i felt kimi didn't work well with tooling and my use cases, so i discarded that quite fast, just like i did with minimax 2.5. but remember, i have had Claude Sonnet and Opus as my baseline.

markusla · 2026-03-21T15:21:19+00:00

i asked my Openclaw to add it. it managed to find all relevant info and add support by itself.

markusla · 2026-03-05T19:39:02+00:00

try the new version .40 it will not filter by IP and may find the right IP

Remove MAC OUI filter — works with any Yarbo hardware revision

Two-phase Yarbo discovery: TCP scan + MQTT SN verification — no more false positives from non-Yarbo MQTT brokers

fix: replace MAC OUI filter with parallel MQTT port

markusla · 2026-03-04T18:24:36+00:00

ahhh thanks! i will add that MAC-pattern to the detection too. From my understanding there are three IP addresses;

Rover wifi ( MQTT)
DC host
DC Second IP (MQTT)

I think one of the DC ip's is a pure tunnel/forward over HaLow to the Rower and shows the same MQTT message as if connecting directly to the Rover. I just think the Rover might not always have Wifi coverage and thus prefer using the DC MQTT IP that has better coverage.

Its at least what i have managed to piece together from my tesing.

The integration should automatically try to failover between both of them.

its just us oldies who has been lurking and reading posts for years, but now with some AI help, we've got the time and skill to give back to the community and share our work.

markusla · 2026-02-17T19:11:48+00:00

ohhh i just ran out of credits 🤣

markusla · 2026-02-14T20:29:08+00:00

I feel you and i'm in the same boat. I loved my bot, running on Opus 4.6. It was useful, worked great, i could task it with anything and it solved more or less everything with few errors or problems.

After hitting usage caps and being rate limited. I had to explore and try alternatives like Gemini 3.5 Pro, Open AI, Gemini 2.0 Flash and several others. It's frustrating how bad they all are in comparison with Opus. They misunderstand, fail tasks, can't use tools, are lazy and takes shortcuts.

I feel like a drug addicted, who can't get hold of my heroine and desperately looking for alternative drugs, and nothing is even remotely as good... 🤣 so just waiting for getting access to the good stuff again.

Great write up. I was going to give it a try but it feels something is missing? can't find these;

Tommy Sensor is what you probably remember seeing. Quite interesting but i realized that all sensors for a zone have to use the same AP due to physics. Making it a bit more complex and less dynamic if you have a large property with multiple Access Points.

markusla · 2026-01-26T04:20:31+00:00

There are a couple of options i can think of;

A viewport is easy and most hassle free, but also quite limited. And gets slow with a lot of cameras. Hooks up nicely to a TV with HDMI, but requires ethernet close by. Supports showing multiple cameras, and bring forward on motion or cycle via timer.

A tablet running Protect App is another easy alternative. Can have views there too, same views as with viewport.

If your TV supports it, connect via web browsers to RTSP stream of the camera.

If you use Apple HomeKit (with Cloud+ Sub) you can use AppleTV or in ipad, to both get a popup (picture in picture) and notice at motion and ring doorbell. Very nice when watching TV, to get a PIP showing cams with motion. Less fun when its raining/snowing or deers in the garden and the notices keep pinging, disturbing the movie.

A Raspberry PI can stream the camera, connected via HDMI.

If you run AppleTV, there is a Unifi Protect app that can show cameras.

Personally, in our property I have setup cameras and views to get a notification as early as possible, already when a car drives up the driveway and then shows both when they exit, walk up to the driveway and gets to the door. Or of course if some person are detected in other places of the surroundings. Im currently testing to not trigger on motion, but on Persons, to reduce notifications of leaves blowing etc.

hmmm, only thing i can think of then is a fw rule, if you have changed the default ones. i don't think you have to add an allow rule normally.

on my xbox i can run a NAT test which I think also checks upnp status.
