Device-Watcher adapter for ioBroker

This is a watchdog for devices/services and adapter/instances. The adapter looks for the different information about the datapoints and create JSON & HTML lists of them:

Devices/Services:

• devices with battery,
• devices with low battery,
• devices with link quality,
• updates for devices,
• devices offline and
• all devices

Adapter/Instances:

• all instances
• deactivated instances
• instances with error
• available adapter updates

It's also counting them in the same categories. You can use the lists and states for Grafana, Jarvis etc for example.

Supported adapters:

Notifications:

The adapter has different possibilities to send notifications:

• A device is no longer reachable or reachable again
• A device has reached the low battery level or the low bat state is true
• When an update is available for a device (shelly and unifi)
• Time based a list of offline devices
• Time based a list of low batterie devices
• Time based a list of devices which can be updated

Currently supported notification services are:

• Telegram
• Pushover
• WhatsApp
• Email
• Jarvis
• Lovelace
• Signal
• SynoChat
• and also an datapoint with the last notification, so you can use it for other services which aren't supported.

Blacklist

Is it neccessary to ignore a specifice device, you can add it in the blacklist and the device-watcher will ignore it. It's possible to select:

• Ignore in notifications
• Ignore in main list
• Ignore in adapter own list

Here are some images how the lists can be look like in Grafana:
