Intermittent Operation-Sometimes Not Working #24
Description
Thx for the effort! Am new user, just started a few days ago. Am trying to control SwitchBOT mini plugs (smart plugs); am using only a few commands to: [1] set up the codes for my devices, [2] control the ON/OFF state of selected devices using Python (Windows 11 in CMD Window).
Sometimes it works, and other times it does not.
When it works I can see the illuminating LED on the plug, and I have control of it. I can alternate from ON to OFF on demand.
When it does not work, no change is seen in the LED and the python script shows nothing (no error: the cmd window just appears ready for any new input command)
Can I obtain intermediate information for diagnosing my problem ? - eg, other commands ? I'm only using
from switchbot import SwitchBot
switchbot = SwitchBot(token=api_token,secret=secret_key)
device = switchbot.device(id='########')
device.command('turn_on')
or, 'turn_off' in the last command above
I have the correct parameters for the token, secret key & devide ID; else it would not work at all.
Is there any information on the code ?, or must I trace it myself to understand the various operations so that I can inject diagnostics ?
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Again, many thanks for your effort to provide easy access to SwitchBot API programming methods.
