the following command will not work- electrasmart-auth gives: electrasmart-auth: command not found

electrasmart-list-devices <imei> <token> (with the correct parameters): electrasmart-list-devices: command not found

@adizag make sure that the python install location is in PATH (Read this: https://geek-university.com/python/add-python-to-the-windows-path/ for windows) In general, I suggest you to open a ticket for https://github.com/yonatanp/electrasmart instead

yonatanp commented 4 years ago

@adizag, based on your followup issues (good work there, thanks!) I'm guessing you managed to solve this. I'm closing the issue for now.

adizag commented 4 years ago

Actually, I'm using Linux, so the windows path solution didn't assist me much. I'm not a programmer (only mech eng.....), so actually, my brother reverse-engineered your code in order to get the required data.

I'll open this issue again in the electrasmart repo. maybe try to be more common-not-programmers-people with the using instructions...? 🔢 :)

yonatanp commented 3 years ago

Way to go brother! I now understand the underlying issue here: the configuration flow for this component is too technical. I think there should be a built-in way to set up such things via the UI. Perhaps "Config Flow Handler" is the way to go: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/config_entries_config_flow_handler/ I'm not familiar with the details, but can read about it when I have some time. If anyone else feels like contributing this piece - or point to a relevant example - it would be most welcome.
