Control Air purifier and Humidifier?

[BerraKode]

Hello
First of all I've got the mirobo working and love it!

However I'm unsure how to get the air purifier and humidifier to work. I see the specific python files for them in the miio folder but when I try to import them into my own python file I get all kinds of errors. How do I control those two devices?

Thanks in advance and thank you for all your hard work!!

It would help if you'd describe what kind of errors you are getting. But I suppose something like this should work:

from miio import AirPurifier, AirHumidifier

airp = AirPurifier(ip, token)
print(airp.info())

airh = AirHumidifer(ip, token)
print(airh.info())

or you can also try to access them with the help of Discovery class (which will construct you a corresponding device objects).

I don't have the airpurifier and humidifier yet so I'm trying out on my vacuum. This is what I get:

---

pi@HomeController:/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/miio$ python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 1, in
from miio import Vacuum
ImportError: No module named miio

---

I guess my problem is I don't know which folder to put the python file. Or does this mean my system don't have the miio package installed? Thanks for your patience!

(mirobo works flawlessly so at least python-miio was installed correctly I guess)

and if I try to "import vacuum" instead it gives me this:

---

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 1, in
import vacuum
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/miio/vacuum.py", line 36
def init(self, ip: str, token: str = None, start_id: int = 0,
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Glad to hear you got it working! You should get used for virtual environments when working with python, see https://realpython.com/blog/python/python-virtual-environments-a-primer/ , and more importantly you should not keep your scripts under any distribution directory (like inside dist-packages nor miio). I think we can close this issue now.
