with open(adbkey) as f:
    priv = f.read()
with open(adbkey + '.pub') as f:
     pub = f.read()
signer = PythonRSASigner(pub, priv)

# Connect
device1 = AdbDeviceTcp('192.168.0.222', 5555, default_transport_timeout_s=9.)
device1.connect(rsa_keys=[signer], auth_timeout_s=0.1)

# Connect via USB (package must be installed via `pip install adb-shell[usb])`
device2 = AdbDeviceUsb()
device2.connect(rsa_keys=[signer], auth_timeout_s=0.1)

# Send a shell command
response1 = device1.shell('echo TEST1')
response2 = device2.shell('echo TEST2')
