When I try to run your example code from the Readme, I get:

$ python p.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "p.py", line 3, in <module>
    manager = VeSync("EMAIL", "PASSWORD", time_zone=DEFAULT_TZ)
NameError: name 'DEFAULT_TZ' is not defined

By the way, is server access required? Is it not possible to directly control the device?

take out the time_zone argument or use your proper time zone from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

The devices are controlled through the vesync server. I don't know any way of flashing with custom firmware like tasmota. It would probably require soldering wires onto the board, not worth it IMO.

I was able to get it to work with the correct string, but I don't know if the example is broken, or something else.

Yeah, I'm looking for an IP-enabled switch I can use locally in my shop, from machine to machine, without a server. The Etekcity outdoor switch is really nice, except for the apparent requirement that it go through the server (I hate this about most home automation).
