Connects to your Gardena account, retrieves information about smart devices configured within that account, and allows you to control them. Installation if fully automated: there is only a single scene to provide status gathering, sending commands and creating virtual devices in HC2. Advantages

At least Gardena Smart Gateway configured and access to your Gardena account. Any sensor, watering device, or mower connected to that account will become available in the Fibaro ecosystem.
Read comments in Lua scene.
Each configuration parameter is described there in detail.
You may do that by configuring IGNORE_CATEGORY variable if you would like to exclude all devices of a given type (like "sensor") or you may remove unwanted VDs manually and change CREATE_VIRTUAL_DEVICES to false so as not to recreate deleted devices.
Sure. Just make a clone of the main Lua script, update account details and give a unique value to ACCOUNT_UNIQUE_ID variable.
Yes, it is simple. All language-specific information is given in two variables: translations and repeatedTrans. Look for them in source code and that should make things clear. Also field definitions are provided in the source code. Look for "TYPEconfig" variable (mowerConfig, e.g.) and change what you need. For labels the first value in each item is a number used for ordering elements, the second is a default (English) label, the third is a format ([d] is for timestamps, [u] is for units retrieved from Gardena API). In the end, remember to use UPDATE_DEVICE_DEFINITION variable to apply changes in virtual device definition.

Hi, any news about Garneda to HC3? Thank you...

Marcin, też bardzo chętnie skorzystam z wtyczki do gardeny dla HC3. Z góry bardzo dziękuję za twoją pracę!

any progress?

Good news. I have recently started to use HC3, and I am slowly moving all my devices over there. Gardena integration needs to be written from scratch, as the API has changed and QA works differently from VD (websocket usage is possible). You may expect a new version for HC3 in a few months... (this is last on my list, as the watering season is over now).
Sorry folks, I’m moving from HomeCenter3 to Homey Pro, so I won’t be updating this app anymore. That said, I’m happy to share my unfinished source code for the Gardena integration on HC3. Along with it, I’ll include my HomeMatic CCU device code, which works perfectly and could serve as a solid reference for how the Gardena Status integration could be developed further. Hopefully someone will pick it up and continue the work. Cheers! https://github.com/Joker-KP/hc3-devices
