the following arguments are required: mode

[JAbelP]

I tried running the tool.py (python tool.py) and I got the error mentioned in the title
python Documents/HomeWebsite2/backend/backendserver/GooveeApi/tool.py
usage: tool.py [-h] [--device DEVICE] [--brightness BRIGHTNESS]
[--color COLOR COLOR COLOR] [--period PERIOD]
mode
I tried the other arguments, but none of these argument help me set up the program, what should I be using to set it all up?

I finally found the address using a sniffer on android, but even with the address

python tool.py --color 0 225 0
usage: tool.py [-h] [--device DEVICE] [--brightness BRIGHTNESS] [--color COLOR COLOR COLOR] [--period PERIOD] mode
tool.py: error: the following arguments are required: mode

I also made this file to try it out more in depth
import GoveeController

GoveeController.change_color((0,255,0), 'A4:C1:38:EE:6B:7C')

im not 100% on this because i haven't managed to get it working myself either but:

• have you set your device in the "name_addr_dict" dictionary in tool.py (line 13-15)?
• the argument mode is required, this is to tell the program what to do. the command should look something like this i think:
  "python tool.py set --device {device name} --color {rgb value (3 ints)} --brightness {brightness int}

instead of set you can also use the other options in tool.py: "set", "strobe", "wakeup"
the last 2 options do require other arguments which you can find in tool.py

again, this is me just guessing since i haven't managed to get this to work either
also, idk if your still trying to make this work since its been over a month but if you are: respect for the dedication

From what I can see in the errors, @FuryFiber is correct; you need to have the right data set in the addr_dev_dict, as well as to specify the mode with which you want to interact with your devices (the specification of set, strobe, or wakeup).
