Adding Wi-Fi and BT to Lidl Parkside 20V PAMR 500 A1 robot mower

    I've recently bought a Lidl PAMR 500 A1 robot mower here in Italy, knowing this was the only available version here and without wifi capabilities.
    After a research, I got this great post from @mac25 from which I understood that there are models with wifi (1000s) and models without (500s series).

    My model 500s is only provided by limited scheduling via the small LCD panel. My intention, as a domotic guy, is to integrate it into my Homeassistant environment and to achieve this I was thinking to add the wifi feature.

    In the linked post above I was able to find some boards pictures of 500s and 1000s models, where clearly the only difference was the lack of the wifi&BT module.

    At post #37 and in particular #151 you can see the difference. The missing module is a cheap "WBR3" a Tuya cloud based Wifi&BT module.

    This post is for looking for help from anyone interested in joining the forces to domotize this little dumb mower!

    PS: WBR3 obviously requires to be programmed with the appropriate code (which we don't have now) but it could be dumped from a working WBR3 on 1000s model!
    As an alternative, WBR3 can be pin-to-pin replaced by a ESP-12 which is more "open" and can be flashed with many different firmwares and plenty of guides are available!

    Anyone willing to work on this?
