Allow to select symlink for USB device about iobroker.maxcul HOT 4 OPEN

As a temporary hack, this works:

Open the Adapter main.js file (e. g. nano /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.maxcul/main.js)

The go to line 148, right after "SerialPort.list().then((ports) => {" and insert a line like this:

ports.push({"path":"/dev/serial/by-id/usb-SHK_NANO_CUL_868-if00-port0"});

Now you can select your symlinked device in the adapters admin page.

from iobroker.maxcul.

I think for now the easier workaround is to configure anything and then open the object "system.adapter.maxcul.0" in Admin (Expert mode) and edit the serial path in the config ... But yes this needs to be done after any config change maybe. Then you do not need to edit code

from iobroker.maxcul.

In fact the mbus and smartmeter adapter are doing this already with selections ... just needs to be rolled out to more adapters

Thanks for the tip with expert mode, didn't realize that works.
