GARDENA Local API for Home Assistant

Introduction

GARDENA's official app and integration go through their cloud API. This is a local-only alternative, split into two parts:

• gardena-smart-local-api — a Python library that talks directly to the GARDENA smart gateway on your own network via its local WebSocket API.
• ha-gardena-smart-local-preview — a Home Assistant custom integration (HACS-compatible) built on top of that library, so mowers, sensors and water controls show up in Home Assistant without a round-trip through GARDENA's servers.

The plan is to eventually get the integration merged into Home Assistant core itself, so it ships built-in and no HACS install is needed. A home-assistant-core fork is already tracking that work.
