print(plug.identify())
plug.on()

Asynchronous

import asyncio

from pyblinky import AsyncWemo

plugs = [
	AsyncWemo('192.168.1.87'),
	AsyncWemo('192.168.1.88'),
	AsyncWemo('192.168.1.89')
]

async def main():
    result = await asyncio.gather(
        *(
            [
                x.status()
                for x in plugs
            ] +
            [
                y.identify()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())

This project does not implement UPnP interface for device discovery, instead talking to plugs directly by IP address. It is highly recommended to set static IPs for plugs. Discovery may be added at a later date if a suitable library can be found. ↩
