More explaination #2

Closed fdelavra closed 3 years ago

fdelavra commented 3 years ago

Hello.

I have tried to use your api as you have explained in your README but failed.

I have a iBox2 of mi-light as a wifi box connected to my network. I have created a WifiBox with the ip of my iBox2. When I try to do box.on() or any other command nothing happen. I don’t have any error but no light turns ooh.

Can you explain me exactly how to install and use your api?

thanks

Thanks for trying my API! This was not tested with the iBox2, but only with the older version. The tested boxes look like this: https://cdn.webshopapp.com/shops/38765/files/27386857/mi-light-milight-wifi-empfaenger-controller-box.jpg

I'm not sure whether the interface is the same for both versions of the box, but could easily imagine that they changed the format. I would recommend to try connecting with the app using the same box first. If you can't get your lights to switch on/off after that it's likely to be an incompatible device. Calling box.on() is everything that should be required.

Thanks for answering me. I have tried every configuration possible with the iBox2 without success. A simple python library make the job so I oriented my choice with this solution

It's great to hear you found another solution for your hardware. Have fun building with that!
