Unable to Parse Status

[lupiter]

I've updated to the latest (0.1.2) and I was at quite an old version (0.999). I deleted the wideq_state in the node_modules and in the homebrew dir, and re-ran example.py.

But it seems to be writing a wideq_state that isn't valid JSON. It is frequently raising an exception like the one below:

  File "example.py", line 306, in <module>
    main()
  File "example.py", line 302, in main
    example(args.country, args.language, args.path, args.verbose, args.cmd, args.args)
  File "example.py", line 219, in example
    state = json.load(f)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.7/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/json/__init__.py", line 296, in load
    parse_constant=parse_constant, object_pairs_hook=object_pairs_hook, **kw)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.7/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/json/__init__.py", line 348, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.7/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/json/decoder.py", line 337, in decode
    obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.7/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/json/decoder.py", line 353, in raw_decode
    obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting ':' delimiter: line 1 column 16439 (char 16438)

I turned on the debug mode in config, and that's showing that it is correctly reading the information sometimes. Sometimes it will fail at homebridge start. It seems like perhaps there's some concurrent access to the state file happening?

I have opened the state file to look at the JSON, and sometimes its fine and sometimes it seems to have gotten truncated.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help debug this for you, and thanks very much for making this module!

I'm actually having the same issue that sometimes the python wideq lib is corrupting its own state file. Still looking for a solution though

The same here. I didn't know why it sometimes failed me and it was because of a json error in that file.

Yeah the issue keeps happening to me too. I'm investigating it. For now I have made a backup of the state file (wideq_state2.json) and when this happens I copy over the state file with the backup. cp wideq_state2.json wideq_state.json

The newest version should have fixed this (0.1.4)
