Tutorials

The chapters "Basics ," "Installation, " and "Admin Interface" describe what ioBroker is and where each function is located in the admin panel. They are intended as a reference.

The tutorials take a different approach. They take a task and guide you through it from beginning to end, with the steps performed in the order they occur. Each tutorial is self-contained and can be completed in one sitting. Read sequentially, they provide a path from a newly installed system to one that is fully functional.

A running installation is required. If you don't have one yet, start with the installation .

The way

StepWhat it's about
1. The first stepsSystem settings, password, data backup, first adapter.
2. Tour of the surfaceWhich riders you need daily and which ones rarely.
3. Manage adaptersAdapter and instance: install, update, downgrade.
4. The first automationTurn values into action, with Blockly.
5. The first visualizationAn interface for those who never want to see the admin.
6. Record valuesSo that there will be a progression later.
7. DiagramsMake the process visible.
8. Install updatesWhat recurs regularly, and in what order.
9. RestoreThe worst-case scenario: restoring a backup to a new system.

If you only read two of them: the first and the last. Setting up data backup and having tried restoring it once is the difference between a hobby and a nuisance.
