Popped the two leaky tyres off the lawnmownster and patched them.
Patched a crack in the sidewall, probably from some metal junk. Its at the curvature and can't really patch it from the inside, so outside it is.
And one from a thorn in the rear tyre tread. Drilled up the hole, cut a sliver from an old inner tube, folded it in half and jammed it in with a screwdriver and some vulcan sweat.
Both not leaking now, but time will tell after some use.

#Gardening : compost is good. Particularly when we learn that the collections of some classes by privatised services ( eg Thames Water) are poisoned by adding toxic collections to clean ones, and then returned to farmland, one might keep it at home.
So, a heap.
Munch it up with the lawnmower to avoid a painful back later and speed composting. -

**Severe weather alerts and automations in Home Assistant**
(link to blog)
Yesterday we had a severe thunderstorm with strong wind gusts, hail and torrential rains in my area.
The storm developed quickly.
While I was observing the falling hail, I saw the mower still mowing. Because of the fast storm development, it didn’t have time to detect rain and return to the docking station.
Nevertheless, we had luck, the hail was small and wet and only partially destroyed some cucumber leaves. Roof, panels and mower are intact. Nearby villages didn’t have that luck, the hail there was egg-sized.
Severe weather alerts in Home Assistant
I started thinking it would be nice if Home Assistant informed me somehow the weather will be severe in my area.
I found an integration(s) and HACSs add-ons that reports severe weather and can be used to trigger some events in HA:
Meteo alarm
Meteo Alarm is a binary sensor that can be added to Home Assistant. It provides weather alerts for EU and UK. Unfortunately, only manual setup is possible. So I edited configuration.yaml and added the following code:
binary_sensor: - platform: meteoalarm country: "slovenia" province: "North-East"Where did I found country and province?
Finding ‘Country’ attribute was easy. Went to Meteo Alarm RSS feeds and searched for Slovenia feed URL: https://feeds.meteoalarm.org/feeds/meteoalarm-legacy-rss-slovenia. I copied the last part: ‘slovenia’.
What about the ‘province’ attribute? I found it in RSS feed. I opened the feed and searched for region names. I found it in <title> tag, after ‘Slovenia / xxxx’
After HA restart, there is a new entity available:
The meteoalarm entity switches the states from ‘unsafe’ to ‘safe’. Great, now I can create an automation that reacts to the state change.
But firstly, I need to show it on my dashboard.
I found another HA add-on in HACS: Meteoalarm Card (by MrBartusek on GitHub) which is compatible with MeteoAlarm (and other weather alert services) entity:
I installed it directly from HACS addon.
Adding this card to HA dashboard is easy: Just add new card and search for Meteoalarm Card. The configuration seems very simple:
I like the option ‘Hide when there are no warnings’. My main dashboard now shows the card only when it is weather alert.
Weather alert automations
For now, I came up with three automations (which was the main reason I added MeteoAlarm to my HA):
Mower should return to docking station immediately when weather alarm is detected. Moreover, it should stay on the docking station and ignore mowing schedules (‘party mode’).
With everything in place, creating automation was easy:
And when the alarm is over, the party mode is off and normal mowing schedues are active again:
The next automation is pushing notifying my and my wife’s phones. This one is pretty obvious, so I’ll skip the description.
TL;DR
As I found out, HA can be used to avoid the damages, protect the property, reduce costs. That’s what I like in HA: I add automations and add-ons when it’s necessary.
Is it useful? I can not protect the garden, roof and other major things with it, but at least I can protect little things. And play with what the technology currently allows.
Thanks to all developers of this nice add-ons. At the end, everything works at it should.
The configuration of HA’s Meteo Alarm integration is not very straight-forward. It would be better if there was an UI to add and configure it. Especially selecting the country and the region. It’s clunky to search for regions in some RSS streams and then to manually add it to configuration.yaml.

We have a huge garden. Not complaining. I love it. The first mow of the season. The grass was very long, should have been cut sooner - it’s a long story, not enough space to explain here. Mower conked out. Managed to blow a circuit, but emerged with fingers and toes intact.

I somehow doubt there were any battery powered ones in Britain at the time!
(But, apparently there was this in the US...)

This is how the corner of the shed is looking. Work in progress. Still quite a lot to do.
I redid everything from the initial sketch including all the pencil shading in the background.
Not sure what to do with the exterior!
This will probably be a 42 x 42cm print.
