Tests:

nibe-rest-api adapter for ioBroker

Read and write datapoints of your Nibe Heatpump via REST API (integrated from Firmware 4.6.4). Developed with my Nibe S1155.

Configuration

Configure the adapter with the URL of your local NIBE API, for example https://192.168.2.107:8443.

• Username and Password: Used for HTTP Basic authentication.
• Basic auth hash: Optional alternative to username/password. If set, it is sent directly after Basic .
• Poll interval: Refresh interval in seconds.
• Device IDs: Optional comma-separated device indexes or serial numbers. Empty means all devices.
• Ignore TLS certificate errors: Helpful for local/self-signed HTTPS certificates.
• Fetch notifications: Reads active alarms and exposes them as JSON.

Object structure

The adapter creates one channel per detected device:

• devices.<serial>.aidMode
• devices.<serial>.smartMode
• devices.<serial>.product.*
• devices.<serial>.points.<pointId>.value
• devices.<serial>.points.<pointId>.isOk
• devices.<serial>.notifications.activeCount
• devices.<serial>.notifications.json

Writable values from the NIBE API are exposed as writable ioBroker states. Writing to those states sends the change back to the local REST API.

Getting started

You are almost done, only a few steps left:

1. Create a new repository on GitHub with the name ioBroker.nibe-rest-api

2. Push all files to the GitHub repo. The creator has already set up the local repository for you:

   git push origin main

3. Add a new secret under https://github.com/maxik690/ioBroker.nibe-rest-api/settings/secrets. It must be named AUTO_MERGE_TOKEN and contain a personal access token with push access to the repository, e.g. yours. You can create a new token under https://github.com/settings/tokens.

4. Head over to src/main.ts and start programming!

Best Practices

We've collected some best practices regarding ioBroker development and coding in general. If you're new to ioBroker or Node.js, you should check them out. If you're already experienced, you should also take a look at them - you might learn something new :)

State Roles

When creating state objects, it is important to use the correct role for the state. The role defines how the state should be interpreted by visualizations and other adapters. For a list of available roles and their meanings, please refer to the state roles documentation.

Important: Do not invent your own custom role names. If you need a role that is not part of the official list, please contact the ioBroker developer community for guidance and discussion about adding new roles.

Scripts in package.json

Several npm scripts are predefined for your convenience. You can run them using npm run <scriptname>

Script name	Description
build	Compile the TypeScript sources.
watch	Compile the TypeScript sources and watch for changes.
test:ts	Executes the tests you defined in *.test.ts files.
test:package	Ensures your package.json and io-package.json are valid.
test:integration	Tests the adapter startup with an actual instance of ioBroker.
test	Performs a minimal test run on package files and your tests.
check	Performs a type-check on your code (without compiling anything).
lint	Runs ESLint to check your code for formatting errors and potential bugs.
translate	Translates texts in your adapter to all required languages, see @iobroker/adapter-dev for more details.
release	Creates a new release, see @alcalzone/release-script for more details.

Configuring the compilation

The adapter template uses esbuild to compile TypeScript and/or React code. You can configure many compilation settings either in tsconfig.json or by changing options for the build tasks. These options are described in detail in the @iobroker/adapter-dev documentation.

Writing tests

When done right, testing code is invaluable, because it gives you the confidence to change your code while knowing exactly if and when something breaks. A good read on the topic of test-driven development is https://hackernoon.com/introduction-to-test-driven-development-tdd-61a13bc92d92. Although writing tests before the code might seem strange at first, but it has very clear upsides.

The template provides you with basic tests for the adapter startup and package files. It is recommended that you add your own tests into the mix.

Publishing the adapter

Using GitHub Actions, you can enable automatic releases on npm whenever you push a new git tag that matches the form v<major>.<minor>.<patch>. We strongly recommend that you do. The necessary steps are described in .github/workflows/test-and-release.yml.

Since you installed the release script, you can create a new release simply by calling:

npm run release

Additional command line options for the release script are explained in the release-script documentation.

To get your adapter released in ioBroker, please refer to the documentation of ioBroker.repositories.

Test the adapter manually with dev-server

Since you set up dev-server, you can use it to run, test and debug your adapter.

You may start dev-server by calling from your dev directory:

dev-server watch

The ioBroker.admin interface will then be available at http://localhost:undefined/

Please refer to the dev-server documentation for more details.
