Adapter for Autodarts Integration

What this adapter does

Connects to your local Autodarts Board Manager (via IP and port, e.g. 192.168.x.x:3180) and exposes ioBroker states for home automation:

• Turn on lights when a game starts
• Play a sound on a bullseye
• Announce the next throw via text-to-speech (TTS)
• Control board hardware (lighting, power)
• Trigger any other ioBroker automation based on dart events

Features

Game State & Throws

• visit.score: Total score of the last complete visit (3 darts)
• throw.current: Numeric score of the last thrown dart
• throw.isTriple: Boolean flag for triple hits within configurable segment range (default: 1–20)
• throw.isDouble: Boolean flag for double hits only (all segments)
• throw.isBullseye: Boolean flag for bullseye hits only
• throw.isMiss: Boolean flag that is true when the dart does not hit any valid scoring segment (pure miss, no score)

Board Status

• status.boardStatus: Status indicator of board event (e.g. "Stopped", "Calibration finished", "Started").
• status.trafficLightColor: HEX color of current board status
• status.trafficLightState: Status indicator
  • green = Player may throw
  • yellow = Remove darts
  • red = Board offline/error

System Information

• system.software.*: Autodarts versions (boardVersion, desktopVersion), OS and platform details
• system.hardware.*: CPU model, kernel architecture, hostname
• system.cams.cam0/1/2: Camera configuration (width, height, fps) as JSON

Hardware Control

• system.hardware.light: Control board lighting (bidirectional with external states)
• system.hardware.power: Control board power (bidirectional with external states)

Runtime Configuration

• config.tripleMinScore/tripleMaxScore: Adjust triple trigger thresholds during runtime
• config.triggerResetSec: Auto-reset time for triple/double/bullseye/miss flags

Tools Addon Integration

• tools.RAW: Input state used to receive events from browser tools (e.g. busted, gameon, gameshot).
• tools.busted/tools.gameon/tools.gameshot: Read-only trigger flags that are set when the corresponding event is received via tools.RAW.
• tools.config.urlBusted/urlGameon/urlGameshot: Pre-generated HTTP URLs (simple-api calls) that can be copied into the Tools for Autodarts browser extension.

What this adapter does NOT do

• ❌ No data is sent to the internet or to third-party servers
• ❌ No history, statistics, or personal data is stored or shared
• ❌ No access to other people's boards or remote boards over the internet
• ❌ No cloud features or analytics

All data stays local on your ioBroker system.

Configuration

The adapter settings are split into four tabs: OPTIONS, MAPPINGS, TOOLS ADDON INTEGRATION and HELP & FAQ.

Tab: OPTIONS

In OPTIONS you configure how the adapter connects to your local Autodarts Board Manager and how often it polls data:

• Board Manager IP
  IP address of your Autodarts Board Manager (e.g. 192.168.178.50 or 127.0.0.1).

• Port
  TCP port of the Board Manager (usually 3180).

• Triple trigger range
  Two dropdowns to define the minimum and maximum field number (1–20) that should be considered for throw.isTriple.
  Triples outside this range will not trigger the flag.

• Trigger reset (s)
  Time in seconds after which triple, double, bullseye and miss flags are reset.
  0 means no automatic reset.

• Polling interval (s)
  How often the adapter polls the Board Manager for new data (e.g. 0.5, 1, 2 seconds).

Tab: MAPPINGS

In MAPPINGS you can link existing ioBroker states to the hardware related adapter states:

• Light Target ID
  ioBroker state ID that is synchronized with system.hardware.light
  (e.g. 0_userdata.0.Autodarts.LIGHT or a state of a smart light/LED ring).

• Power Target ID
  ioBroker state ID that is synchronized with system.hardware.power
  (e.g. 0_userdata.0.Autodarts.POWER or a state of a smart plug).

When configured, changes on either side (adapter state or external state) are synchronized bidirectionally so you can both control the board from ioBroker and react on board events.

Tab: TOOLS ADDON INTEGRATION

• Configure IP, port and instance so the adapter can generate HTTP URLs that point to your ioBroker simple-api endpoint. ​
• The final URLs for Busted, Game On and Gameshot are exposed as states under autodarts.X.tools.config.urlBusted/urlGameon/urlGameshot and can be copied into the Tools for Autodarts browser extension.

Tab: HELP & FAQ

In HELP & FAQ you will find general information and help about the adapter and its configuration.

Privacy & Data Handling

• This adapter only reads data from your local Autodarts Board Manager in your own network.
• No personal data is sent to external servers or stored in the cloud.
• All data stays on your own system; no statistics or throw history are collected or shared.
• This adapter is designed to work only with your own dartboard, not with remote or other people’s boards.
