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.

Supported adapters:

Alexa2	APC UPS	Ble
Deconz	Enocean	ESP Home
euSec	FritzDect	fullyBrowser
Harmony	Ham	Home Connect
Homematic IP	Homematic RPC	HS100
Philips Hue	Philips Hue Extended	Innogy Smarthome
Jeelink	Lupusec	Max! Cube
Meross	MiHome	MiHome Vacuum
MQTT Client Zigbee2Mqtt	MQTT Nuki	MusicCast
Netatmo	Nuki Extended	Nut
Ping	Roomba	Shelly
Smartgarden	Sonoff	Sonos
Sureflap	Switchbot Ble	Tado
Tapo	Tradfri	Unifi
Wled	Yeelight	Zigbee
Zigbee2MQTT	Zwave

A list with more information about the supported adapters can be found here: in German or in English.
If one adapter is missing, feel free to open an request issue to add it.

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:
