In the readme file, it is writen to use the MagicHomeAPi() method, which isn't defined. Shouldn't it be the __init__() method instead?

For __init__(self, device_ip, device_type, keep_alive=True), what am I suposed to enter for self and keep_alive=True?

UPDATE: Sorry, I never worked with Python before. I found the solution for my problem now

I was able to get everything to work apart turn_on and turn_off which aren't working with my RGB-LED-Strip.
I'm able to change the color but not to turn it on or off

I continue to get the socket.error when trying to do anything with the bulb

import MagicHomeApi

bulb = MagicHomeApi.MagicHomeApi('xx.xx.x.xxx',2)

bulb.get_status()

Establishing connection with the device.

Hello there. I have type 0 lights, normal RGB light strips with the magic home wifi controller. I'm running the API through Visual Studio just as a test as I'm trying to do bigger and better things with it once I get it working. I'm able to turn the lights on and off thanks to a comment from another issue that solved my issue of them not turning off or on (Change to if self.device_type <= 1:). Now I'm running into an issue with the RGB request not working. This is my code:
`import time

from MagicHomeAPI import MagicHomeApi

controller1 = MagicHomeApi('192.168.0.142',0)

controller1.get_status()

controller1.turn_on()

controller1.update_device(0,255,255)
If I check the path of controller1.update_device(0,255,255) in visual studio it returns:(method) update_device: (r=0, g=0, b=0, white1=None, white2=None) -> None`
I don't even know where to start on this one as I've looked over update_device and I can't see how the variables are not reaching message = [0x31, r, g, b, white1, 0x00, 0x0f]. I would appreciate the help, thank you.

Btw, I'm also using Python 3.8.10, hints the need for changing the self.device_type to <=1:.

When I use the update_device command, my led stripes switch color, but they are just fading. So could you pease change/add the function that it jumps directly to that specific color, just like in jumpColor mode (or however it is called)

I hope I'll get a Reply soon, even if this Api is a bit older...

Greetings Felix

Edit: I would also liike to know if you are working on the "tasks" from the main page or if this project is like more´or less completely dead.

So I cloned the repo, was able to get the connection working between lights.
I have been able to turn the lights on and off. However, I am unable to set the RGB lighting with the color numbers.
I am able to set the white hue from 'soft' to 'cool'.

So what am I doing wrong.

sample code:
from magichome import MagicHomeApi
controller1 = MagicHomeApi('XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX',3,True)
controller1.get_status()
output: b'\x815#a\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x07\xf0\x0fB'
controller1.update_device(0,0,255)
result: 'Cool' white light appears.

Any thoughts?

Hello,
how can i decode the response of the get_status function?
