Dear Adapter developer,

Node.js 14 is now available for a year and Node.js 16 was release just some days ago and will become LTS by October 2021. We plan to update the ioBroker Node.js recommendation (currently 12.x) to 14.x later this year.

Please check your adapter with Node.js 14 especially, and ideally also directly with Node.js 16

Please add both versions to the adapter testing which is executed on commits.

If your adapter requires a certain minimum version of Node.js please set the 'engine' setting in package.json accordingly! Please also do this if the adapter is not able to work in certain Node.js versions, so that ioBroker can prevent users from installing te adapter if not compatible!

On questions please talk to us at ioBroker/ioBroker.js-controller#1138

Please close the issue after you checked it.

Thank you very much for your support!

We saw your adapter and if it is ready please request that it is added to the repository. With this it becomes available for all users. Please consult https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.repositories#add-a-new-adapter-to-the-latest-repository and the following sections for more details.
If you need help, contact us in the forum https://forum.iobroker.net/ or in the developer chat https://github.com/iobroker-community-adapters/info .

Thank you for your support.

We have detected that your adapter supports the compact mode. Please use the latest js-controller 2.0 and verify that everything works.

I am an automatic service that looks for possible errors in ioBroker and creates an issue for it. The link below leads directly to the test:

Dear Adapter developer,

with js-controller 3.2 and js-controller 3.3 some additional checks were added to make sure that created objects match to the specifications and also written state values match to the object definition.

If something is not correct this is logged as 'warning' or 'info' log.

Please take the time to verify your adapter by ideally starting with a fresh instance and do some actions and verify the log. If you see a warn log there from these checks please adjust the adapter and fix the relevant cases.

For questions please refer to ioBroker/ioBroker.js-controller#1301

Additionally we are preparing Admin 5 which will have a completely rewritten UI. Please install Admin 5, activate that new UI and verify that the configuration of you adapter works as expected also there.

More informations on Admin 5 can be found in Forum https://forum.iobroker.net/topic/44282/test-adapter-admin-5-0-x-alpha-der-neuen-ui

Please close the issue after you checked it.

Thank you very much for your support!

Dear Adapter developer,

with js-controller 4.0 object definitions are now also checked that min/max in only provided for number/mixed objects and that the type of the default value matches to the object type.

If something is not correct this is logged as 'warning' or 'info' log.

Please also make sure to update to the lastest @iobroker/testing dependency 2.5.4 or to accept the PR from Apollon77 for legacy testing!

Please spent some time to verify your adapter by ideally starting with a fresh instance and do some actions and verify the log. If you see a warn or info log there from these checks please adjust the adapter and fix the relevant cases.

For questions please refer to ioBroker/ioBroker.js-controller#1749

Please close the issue after you checked it.

Thank you very much for your support to get the best experience for the growing numbers of ioBroker users!

Hi,

the new js-controller 2.0 will come into latest repository in the next days and we want to make sure that all adapters are working well. We already did a 2 weeks Beta test and so some adapter were aleady checked and some needed slight adjustments.

You can find more information in ioBroker/ioBroker.js-controller#482 and in the ioBroker Forum. If you have more technical questions please write in the referenced issue or in the Developer thread please. General questions are best in the genral thread.

Please update your systems to js-controller 2.0 and check your adapter.

Please close this issue once you have checked your adapter or received successfull reports from users.

Thank you very much for your support. Please contact us in the other Threads or Forum on any question.
