Please add your adapter to ioBroker.discovery #28

I am an automatic service from ioBroker that searches adapters and makes suggestions.

I noticed that your adapter is not integrated in the ioBroker.discovery. Using the Discovery adapter, ioBroker can automatically find devices or suggest services to the user for installation. If possible I would live to see your adapter added there.

Some adapters have already been added and you can use them as blueprints. See: https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.discovery You need to fork this project and then create a PR for your adapter to be added.

Basically the plugins can do HTTP calls, UDP discovery, MDNS, UPNP and will iterate over all devices found by IP scan and check local serial ports. If you want you can also add new discovery methods but please try to do that with at least dependencies as possible.

Then create one file under lib/adapters for your adapter to implement the detection and proposal of an instance to the user.

On questions, the other developers will support in the forum or via GitHub issues too.

If no detection is possible, simply close this issue and I won't bother you again. ;-)

Thanks, your automatic adapter checker.

P.S.: There is a community in Github, which supports the maintenance and further development of adapters. There you will find many experienced developers who are always ready to assist anyone. New developers are always welcome there. For more informations visit: https://github.com/iobroker-community-adapters/info

I'm not sure whether this issue can be implemented in a usaeable way.

While it seems to be possible to detect devices providing snmp support it seems nearly impossible to detect which OIDs a user wants to monitor. Adding all OIDs a device can provide will likely result in a inacceptable large number of OIDs which must be cleaned up by user afterwards.

More discussion will be necessary

@GermanBluefox As you know this adapter well, do you see any (useful) possibility to add it to discovery? One could check oif the snmp port is open. But - assuming any security level at the devices - most test request will fail. So I'm not sure if a detection yould be possible at all.

I would like to close this issue. What do you think about it?
