The **ioBroker.linkeddevices** adapter lets you create “linked” datapoints that mirror selected device objects in a custom, user‑defined hierarchy within ioBroker. By centralizing these linked objects, users can build stable visualizations, scripts, and automations that keep working even when the underlying hardware is replaced, and it also offers on‑the‑fly type conversions and generated helper scripts. It is aimed at ioBroker administrators and hobbyists who want a flexible, centralized representation of their devices for dashboards and automation logic.
