Game Monitoring:
- Games to Monitor: Configure a list of games to monitor.

- Game News: Fetches and updates the latest news for each monitored game every 6 hours (4 times a day).
- Game Name Suggestions: If a game cannot be found (e.g., due to a typo), the adapter logs a warning and suggests up to 5 similar game names from the Steam app list.
- Auto-completion: When adding games, the adapter automatically completes missing information - if you provide a game name, it finds the AppID, and vice versa.
- Owned Games Import: Imports all your owned games from your Steam library with a single click.
- Enhanced Game Info: Displays game icons, logos, community stats URLs, playtime statistics, and more.
- Automatic Game Detection: Automatically detects and creates states for games as they are played.
-
API Request Management:
- GetPlayerSummaries: Requests player summaries at a configurable interval (minimum 15 seconds, default 60 seconds).
- Daily Request Count: Monitors the number of GetPlayerSummaries API requests to avoid exceeding the limit of 10,000 requests per day.
- Automatic Reset: Automatically resets the daily request count at 0:00 (midnight).
- Optimized API Usage: Prevents duplicate API calls and adds proper cooldowns between requests.
- Steam AppList Caching: Efficiently caches the Steam application list to reduce API calls.
- Steam Name / SteamID64 Enter your Steam vanity name or the 17-digit SteamID64 from your public profile.
- Steam API Key Log in to Steam in your browser, open the Steam API key page, create a key, and copy it into adapter config. Your Steam Community profile must be set to Public.
- Player summary interval Set the polling interval for player summaries (minimum 15 seconds).
- Enable game suggestions Enables typo-tolerant game name suggestions in logs.
- Enable owned games Imports owned games into configuration (adapter restart required).
- Games to monitor Add game name or AppID. Missing information is auto-completed by the adapter.
After installing and configuring the adapter, the Steam profile information, game news, recently played games, and API request statistics will be available as states in ioBroker.
The adapter creates several state folders:
- steam.0 - Contains general profile information and connection status
- steam.0.games - Contains monitored games with their AppIDs, news, and statistics
When a game is being played, its isPlaying state will be set to true, and all data for that game will be automatically updated.
