More Information

homebridge-landroid-v2 is a maintained fork of homebridge-landroid (Worx Landroid / Kress / Ferrex / Landxcape mowers).

I want to flag the duplicate-functionality situation up front: the original homebridge-landroid is still on the verified list but was discontinued by its author in December 2023 and no longer works — Worx removed the GET /api/v2/users/me route, which crashes its MQTT connection, and it also crashes on Homebridge 2.x (removed Service.BatteryService alias). This fork fixes both and is confirmed working on Homebridge 2.2.1.

Since the existing verified plugin is abandoned and non-functional, how would you prefer to proceed — (1) delist the discontinued homebridge-landroid and verify homebridge-landroid-v2 as its working successor, or (2) a maintainer-handover path you prefer?

Checklist: dynamic platform ✓ · npm + GitHub w/ issues ✓ · GitHub releases ✓ · settings GUI ✓ · doesn't start unless configured ✓ · Node 18/20/22 ✓ · no analytics/tracking ✓ · writes only to Homebridge storage dir ✓ · catches/logs its own errors ✓ · note: uses aws-iot-device-sdk-v2 (aws-crt, native build) for the Worx AWS IoT MQTT connection, same as upstream ioBroker.worx.
