Hello, I can confirm my purifier is using plain_coap with below command but it's only work with sudo.

sudo airctrl --ipaddr 192.168.1.40 --protocol plain_coap [name] Name: AirPurifier [modelid] ModelId: AC4558/31 [swversion] Version: 1.0.1 [StatusType] StatusType: localcontrol [ota] Over the air updates: no [Runtime] Runtime: 12.46 hours [pwr] Power: ON [pm25] PM25: 4 [iaql] Allergen index: 1 [mode] Mode: AG [om] Fan speed: a [aqil] Light brightness: 1 [uil] Buttons light: ON [ddp] Used index: PM2.5 [cl] Child lock: False [fltsts0] Pre-filter and Wick: clean in 23 hours [fltsts1] HEPA filter: replace in 3368 hours [fltsts2] Active carbon filter: replace in 0 hours

If I test it with airctrol command without sudo, may I know how can I permit such access to fix it ?
