## 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.

### 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:
