Goat series zone mowing entity

[buschbaby]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with an Ecovacs GOAT A1600, which led me to a missing feature.

Problem: The robotic lawnmower is supposed to drive through an outdoor gate to mow another zone. Since it can't drive through narrow areas under 1 meter wide, and therefore a cutout in the fence doesn't work, I came up with the idea of building an automatic door opener using a linear actuator. This is actually very inexpensive to implement. The only problem is that there is no proper solution for detecting that the robotic lawnmower needs to pass through the gate (it could also simply mow the other zone on the other side of the fence).

My idea was therefore to switch a relay that opens the door. For this, however, it would be important to know whether the area for which the robotic lawnmower needs to pass through the gate should be mowed. Unfortunately, this isn't possible with the current integration. It only displays "mowing" as the status.

Since I'm not familiar with the integration, my question is whether anyone can answer whether it would be possible to get this information (i.e., which zone is being mowed) from the cloud via the extension. Alternatively a possibility to start mowing a zone from the integration (i can only see a play-symbol which starts auto mode i guess). This would also be a very important entity for further automation, such as adjusting the mowing angle for a zone (the manufacturer doesn't provide this feature).

Best regards
