Always use the same number of digits for all device IDs

It looks strange that the deconz device order in iobroker shows like 1,11,2,22,3,…
Better would be 001,002,003,011,022,… (or maybe 4 digit, depends on your experience how much devices the avg user owns). its also easier to find a device, you don’t pretend 11 between 1 and 2…

Example: Adding a motion/temperatur sensor with motion sensor at 99 creates the temp.sensor portion at 100 ant this is located between 1 and 11 in the above sample and you search forever. this happend to me.

The short IDs can’t be changed as it might break clients. I’m not sure how iobroker handles devices but a better way imho would be to use the uniqueid of a device since these are always persistent even if a device is removed and paired again.

(personally I don’t use the short IDs since years).

If the padded IDs are helpful for nicer display in iobroker it’s safer to add a small change in iobroker which simply left pads the numbers with zeros when showing them to the user.
