Windows¶
py -3.8 -m pip install hisensetv
CLI Usage¶

Limitations¶
Concurrency¶
- Multiple instances of this class will conflict with one-another.
- Not thread-safe.
- This API really should be asyncio in 2020, but asyncio is not yet part of the paho mqtt library (see 455).
Reliability¶
- The concurrency issues contribute to reliability issues in general.
- Unit tests do not exist yet.
