setMesh(), light.off()... raises an Assertion Error

[matthiaaas]

Hey Leiaz,

I get an error when I try to interact with my bulb. It works well to connect and disconnect but when I try to do setMesh(), light.off() or something else it raises an AssertionError and I've no idea why.
Ignoring this and continuing executing the script doesn't work and the error still exists.

Help would be awesome.

Regards

The complete error message would be helpful.

Traceback (most recent call last):

	AssertionError

It means there is no session_key . Did you check if connect returned True ?

[matthiaaas]

It's False. What's the problem?

You can try to get more info with the debug messages see here.

Yes, it raises and Auth error. Something is wrong with the password and/or the name of the bulb.

If you used the AWOX app, you have to get the password from the app in some way, or reset the light to default password, if you don't want to keep using the app.

Some sniffed the packets sent by the app, if you have root access to your android device, with adb root for instance, you can try looking in the app config files (in /data/, although I didn't check).
