Smart Control Adapter for ioBroker

click here to jump to Introduction section below

This adapter would not exist without the awesome and valuable input from the ioBroker community related to UI, feature requests, testing and bug reports, etc. Many thanks to everyone who contributed!

This as a summary of very positive feedback from the community I want to share with you 😊 (blush) (from oldest to newest, and in German):

  • Ein toller Adapter und Entwicklungsarbeit! source
  • Ich finde das Hilfssystem einfach Genial.👍 source
  • die Auswahl ist so viel viel Übersichtlicher! Bist mein absoluter Held ! 🙂 Die Eierlegende selbstversorgende Wollmilchsau ist am laufen.. 🙂 source
  • erstmal ein Dankeschön für die Arbeit. Möchte nicht wissen wieviele Stunden da drin stecken 👍 source
  • Also ich muss sagen: TOP Arbeit! source
  • super, du hast echt klasse Ideen und setzt diese sehr Userfreundlich um! source
  • Die Geschwindigkeit mit der Du den Adapter nach vorne treibst ist echt erschreckend, so schlimm und schnell das man manches Mal mit dem testen nicht hinterher kommt 👍 RESPEKTABEL source
  • ich bin auch recht begeistert von dem Adapter, schöne Arbeit. Hab jetzt schon längere Zeit immer mal wieder verschiedene Systeme getestet, FHEM, Nodered und jetzt seit kurzem Iobroker. So schnell hab ich meine Lichtsteuerung über Bewegungsmelder noch nie hinbekommen. source
  • super sache die du da gebaut hast 🙂 source
  • der Adapter ist bei mir im Einsatz und läuft sehr gut. Danke für Deine Arbeit. source
  • ich finde es nahezu unfassbar mit welcher Hingabe und Geschwindigkeit Du hier den Adapter nach vorne bringst. RESPEKT
    Bis jetzt konnte ich tatsächlich alles was ich so an Blockly´s hatte in den Adapter migrieren, echt toll.
    Ich würde mir wünschen, wenn der Adapter so weit fertig ist, das Du Dir dein ein oder anderen Adapter vornimmst, "forkst" und diesen dann ebenfalls so usernah weiterentwickelst 🙄
    source
  • erstmal Hut ab. Der Adapter ist echt gut gelungen und es lassen sich nach einer gewissen Einarbeitungszeit in die Adapterlogik sehr viele meiner Skripte damit adaptieren. (...) Trotzdem nochmal dickes Lob, viele Dinge laufen damit seit einiger Zeit reibungslos und übersichtlicher als via Skript. 👍 source
  • Danke für den coolen Adapter - da kann ich nur meinen Hut davor ziehen! source
  • ein dickes Lob für den Adapter und Deine vorbildliche Arbeit 👍 source
  • vielen Dank für die wahnsinnig gute Arbeit! source
  • Danke, man das Teil ist so mächtig geworden, aber GENIAL ! source

Introduction

In our ioBroker home automation we have several triggers, e.g.

  • motion sensor in the corridor triggers,
  • a wall switch is pressed,
  • a certain time occurs (e.g. 30 minutes after sunset or Mon-Fri at 7:00)

Once such a trigger is triggering, we often want that additional conditions are (not) met (e.g. 'Today is a holiday', 'living room window is open', brightness is greater than 100 lux, etc.).

Once these optional verifications passed, target states (i.e. Target devices) should be switched.

In addition, a timer should run after a motion sensor is triggered, which (as soon as there is no more motion) switches off the target devices after the set number of seconds.

All of this can be easily accomplished with this adapter, und even much more ;-)

The purpose of this adapter is to to provide you a very user-friendly environment for various scenarios you need, and while the above was just one simple example using IFTTT (if this, then that), you can configure many different scenarios (called "zones" in the adapter option) for your home. Also, if your are using Javascripts/Blockly, you should be typically able to replace several scripts with this adapter, which will also ensure more consistency, a stable environment, and especially a way user-friendlier configuration.

Installation

Just install the adapter regularly through the ioBroker admin interface. The adapter is both in the latest and stable repository.
Once done, add an adapter instance accordingly.

Instructions

I have included all instructions right in the admin settings of this adapter.

Reason: We are having a nice term Medienbruch in the German language, which is an unnecessary requirement to 'break' the current medium and switch to a different medium (like different website, program, etc.) to execute/complete a task, etc. Since this is cumbersome, I have included all instructions in the admin settings of this adapter.

Also, you can read most of these instructions here as well:

Breaking Changes

  • (Mic-M) Entire adapter code refactored. Therefore, tests are required to verify if these massive changes do not affect the adapter functionality. However, none of your existing adapter configuration should be lost and will be kept if you upgrade from 0.2.0+. But please check ALL of your configuration, since new options were added which can have an effect to your existing configuration.
  • (Mic-M) New feature: Implemented issue #22 - Motion sensors timeout, e.g. for Homematic sensors: Motion sensor timer will now start once a motion sensor is set to false. In previous adapter versions, it was started once set to true.
    Note: This change will cause that per your existing adapter configuration, the timer end will be reached later (so: once no motion detected any longer + the seconds you have set)
  • (Mic-M) New feature: Time triggers - added options for additional conditions for 'any' or 'all'. issue #24
  • (Mic-M) New feature: Zones > Execution - added options for additional conditions for 'any' or 'all'.
  • (Mic-M) Many fixes under the hood

0.2.2

  • (Mic-M) New feature: In '3. TRIGGERS', 'Other Triggers', you can now easily create own states as triggers under 'smartcontrol.x.userstates'

0.2.1

  • (Mic-M) Fixed motion sensors table, column 'seconds' to allow 0 seconds for deactivation

0.2.0

Breaking Change

  • German: In den Adapter-Optionen wurde der Reiter und die Tabelle "Ausführung" entfernt und stattdessen in "4. ZONEN" integriert.
    Das bedeutet für euch: Falls ihr von einer vorherigen Version aktualisiert, sichert zuvor die Adapter-Einstellungen (blauer Knopf mit "Pfeil nach unten" ganz oben rechts in den Adapter-Optionen). Diese gehen sonst verloren. In einem Texteditor könnt ihr diese einsehen und dann in "4. ZONEN" unter Ausführung übertragen.
  • English: Tab "Execution" was removed and transferred to "4. ZONES". If you have installed and used a previous version of this adapter, please save your adapter configuration settings prior to update the adapter (adapter settings: blue button at the top right corner with 'arror down' symbol).

Change Log for 0.2.0:

  • (Mic-M) New feature: Admin Options: Removed tab "5. EXECUTION" (German "5. AUSFÜHRUNG") and included in tab "4. ZONES"
  • (Mic-M) New feature: Changing name fields (renaming) will also change names in all other tables, in which these names are used. This is a huge usability improvement to quickly re-organize/rename table names without the need to correct in other tables accordingly.
  • (Mic-M) Improvement: Add info.connection to allow setting adapter to "yellow" in case of any configuration errors

0.1.2-beta.7

  • (Mic-M) Improvement: Once user clicks "Save" in admin options, adapter verifies if all required tables are filled, and throws an error via dialog box, which shows details.
  • (Mic-M) Fixed error handling for 'overwrite state vals' in target devices table

0.1.2-beta.6

  • (Mic-M) New feature: Changing name fields in admin options now also sets the names in all other fields to the new value.

0.1.2-beta.5

  • (Mic-M) New feature: option in Target Devices table to not verify if device is already on/off. Use case is e.g. for button states which do not reflect the actual status of the device in the state (like Broadlink, etc.). Addresses request #5

0.1.2-beta.4

  • (Mic-M) Enhance functionality of validating/correcting config settings (new feature with 0.1.2-beta.3) to also process overwritten target device values. The issue is described here: ioBroker forum post.
  • (Mic-M) Improved validation of all adapter config settings (user input)

0.1.2-beta.3

  • (Mic-M) New feature: Overwrite target device values in Zones table, addresses #16 and #15
  • (Mic-M) Improved dialogs for selection: all selected nodes are expanded when opening, and additional buttons 'collapse all' and 'expand all' - #17

0.1.2-beta.2

  • (Mic-M) Fixed saving of admin options for tab 'Further Options'.

0.1.2-beta.1

  • (Mic-M) New feature: Additional dialogs in various tables to easily select items (like target devices) by implementing a modal dialog, FancyTree, etc.
  • (Mic-M) Improved table filter functionality in adapter configuration

0.1.1-beta.6

0.1.1-beta.5

  • (Mic-M) New feature: Add filter field to each table in adapter configuration to filter table rows.

0.1.1-beta.4

  • (Mic-M) Fixed errors of 0.1.1-beta.3. Note You may still experience errors in comparison to 0.1.1-beta.2 due to the major and breaking changes of 0.1.1-beta.3. In case of any issues in productive environments: please go back to 0.1.1-beta.2 and report your issue.

0.1.1-beta.3

  • (Mic-M) Breaking: I did some breaking code changes under the hood, to fix various issues. I have tested these changes well, but negative side effects are still likely. No changes to options or states, so no worries here. But please use new version with care and report any issues.
  • (Mic-M) Fix: issue https://forum.iobroker.net/post/464466
  • (Mic-M) Extensive code changes and several bug fixes within code
  • (hombach) corrected typos and wordings in admin/index_m.html
  • (hombach) corrected translations in docs/translations.md
  • (hombach) extended Travis tests to include ARM CPUs

0.1.1-beta.2

  • (Mic-M) Fix: Perform configuration validation and correction also for non-active table rows, since these can be switched on thru smartcontrol.x.options.xxx.xxx.active states.

0.1.1-beta.1

  • (Mic-M) New feature: New option in motion sensor table: if activated, motion triggers will not set a timeout if target device was turned on previously without a motion trigger ("manually"). Forum Link
  • (Mic-M) Fix: non-consistent logs for verifying config
  • (Mic-M) Change: changed limitTriggerInterval from 2s to 1s - Issue #3
  • (Mic-M) Fix: 24:00 as time: now treated as 0:00 but adding 24h to timestamp.
  • (Mic-M) Fix: If a trigger state path was used multiple times in different triggers and schedules, second schedule stopped. Forum Link
  • (Mic-M) Improvement: Better info log / extended info log per Option 'Extended Info Log'

0.1.0-alpha.11

  • (Mic-M) Fix: check for 'is time between'

0.1.0-alpha.10

  • (Mic-M) New feature: Provide "Toggle?" option in 'Other Triggers' table to allow toggles: if targets are off -> turn on, and vice versa.
  • (Mic-M) New feature: Allow using same trigger state multiple times. Required significant code changes.
  • (Mic-M) New feature: If you are using multiple motion sensors for a zone: whenever a motion device triggers, the turn off timer is being stopped and a new timer is set per the latest motion sensor.
  • (Mic-M) New feature: In certain northern areas is night/nightEnd not available at least in Summer in Germay. New adapter option added to set midnight to 0:00 and midnightEnd to 2:00 in this case.
