5 years ago For a quick-fix, putting rapid=True on your bulb.set_power call will bypass the req_with_ack, instead using a "fire-and-forget" policy.
How quickly are you calling lapi.L_setLight? Too much traffic can muck up your network's bandwidth and cause some ack packets to get lost/ignored.
This is the error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "RoomLight_project.py", line 227, in
sys.exit(main() or 0)
File "RoomLight_project.py", line 189, in main

Any help is appreciated.
