Outdated Plugins

Die folgenden Plugins wurden bereits in v1.6 als deprecated (veraltet) markiert. Das bedeutet, dass diese Plugins zwar noch funktionsfähig sind, aber nicht mehr weiter entwickelt werden. Sie werden in einem kommenden Release von SmartHomeNG entfernt werden. Anwender dieser Plugins sollten auf geeignete Nachfolge-Plugins wechseln.

• System Plugins

  • backend - use the administration interface instead

  • sqlite_visu2_8 - switch to the database plugin

• Web Plugins

  • wunderground - the free API is not provided anymore by Wunderground

Die folgenden Plugins wurden in v1.7 als deprecated (veraltet) markiert, weil kein Nutzer oder Tester dieser Plugins gefunden werden konnte:

• Gateway Plugins

  • ecmd

  • elro

  • iaqstick

  • snom

  • tellstick

• Interface Plugins

  • easymeter

  • smawb

  • vr100

• Web Plugins

  • nma

Weiterhin wurde das bisherige mqtt Plugin zu mqtt1 umbenannt und als deprecated markiert, da das neue mqtt Plugin diese Funktionalität übernimmt. Das neue mqtt Plugin nutzt dazu das mqtt Modul des aktuellen Cores von SmartHomeNG.

Retired Plugins

Die folgenden Plugins wurden retired (in den RUhestand geschickt). Sie waren in einem der vorangegangenen Releases von SmartHomeNG als deprecated markiert worden. Diese Plugins wurden aus dem plugins Repository entfernt, stehen jedoch als Referenz weiterhin zur Verfügung. Diese Plugins wurden in das plugin_archive Repositiory aufgenommen.
