ioBroker gardena adapter

This is an ioBroker Adapter supporting the Gardena Smart System web service.

Should we continue the development of this adapter?

Dear users,

the point is that Gardena wants people to use the Gardena API which can be done using the Smart Garden Adapter. My adapter uses a different approach, it mocks more or less the Gardena App. So, at the moment I am not sure if it is worth to continue the development of the adapter.

Description

This adapter connects to the Gardena Smart System web services. From this web service data from all devices is retrieved and stored in ioBroker states. These states are updated in a given interval, hence the states should be up to date. At the moment it can retrieve data from all Gardena devices. Some Gardena devices can be controlled.

The adapter mainly maps Gardena's RESTful API structure to ioBroker's database structure. The adapter distinguishes between "dump" and "smart" data points. Dump data points are directly mapped from Gardena's RESTful API to the ioBroker database. Smart data points are mapped in a "smart" way: If the data point has children that contain metadata, the metadata from these children is used to create one smart data point in the ioBroker database. Only smart data points can be writeable. If this is the case, a special data point is created in the ioBroker's database that can be used to trigger the command. Hence many devices should be supported in a generic way. For experts, all HTTP PUT commands should be supported by smart data points.

Examples

For some examples please have a look at the Wiki

Installation

Just install the adapter from the iobroker admin interface or fetch it from Github.

Troubleshooting

No data points are created

Please note that in adapter versions greater than 2.0.0 ALL data points are opt-in, i.e. a data point has to be selected in the instance configuration explicitly, otherwise, no data points are created.
