JSON commands don't seem to work

[aggillator]

I try doing a json command using the -j format but all I get back is a message saying it was sent, but under received, there is nothing listed. The command I would use is this [python3 ./tplink_smartplug.py -t 192.168.0.108 -j {"emeter":{"erase_emeter_stat":{}}}] for example, and all I receive is this [Sent: {emeter:{erase_emeter_stat:{}}} Received: {}].

Any advice?

Thanks

Put the whole json string in single quotes like this:

Erase All EMeter Statistics '{"emeter":{"erase_emeter_stat":null}}'

That worked for me.

@aggillator I had the same issue as you (windows platform) and I found that I need to change the quotes to triple quotes, e.g., like this: tplink_smartplug.py -t 192.168.0.7 -j {"""system""":{"""set_relay_state""":{"""state""":1}}}

Thanks for your tips. Now that I found the “Watt” app, can do it through there. Game-changer.
