So I’ve recently set up home assistant on my Pi5 and have been noodling some ideas back and forth with Gemini. Check out what we came up with:

Are you getting images from the app somehow?
Nope, I’ve been monitoring the charging curve using a smart plug
Let’s keep this quiet, we don’t want to give any reason for a delay of Yarbo opening it up for HomeAssistant tie in. 
All joking aside, this is a pretty great approach to extracting some sort of status info out of the Yarbo walled garden. I really like your approach.
I want to add an actuator to my gate so Yarbo can open and close as needed. My thought would be to tie in line crossing and region exiting for an automation to trigger when Yarbo would be heading to the gate vs working inside the gate.

Have you looked at reading the json requests and responses?

Like using Wireshark over LAN or something? Are they plaintext or encrypted? I would assume/hope the latter for security
They might be encrypted. I think it’s using ROS2, and so the commands would be easy to read if they’re not. I will try it after I get done fiddling with the basics.
Has anyone tried using an ADB (Android debugging) connection to a phone that has the app, and then wrapping that in an api?
