A timeout occurred while waiting for the ACK

👋 Hiya - I’ve started getting timeouts when trying to read the status of either of my MSS310’s. This appears to happen on any of the .get_<thing>() methods.

Has been happening for at least the last day or two.

Here’s a reproducible set of Python commands:

❯ python3
Python 3.7.7 (default, Mar 10 2020, 15:43:33)
[Clang 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.17)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from meross_iot.cloud.devices.power_plugs import GenericPlug
>>> from meross_iot.manager import MerossManager
>>> EMAIL="<redacted>"
>>> PASSWORD="<redacted>"
>>> manager = MerossManager.from_email_and_password(meross_email=EMAIL, meross_password=PASSWORD)
>>> manager.start()
>>> manager.get_devices_by_kind(GenericPlug)
[<meross_iot.cloud.devices.power_plugs.GenericPlug object at 0x10b20e510>, <meross_iot.cloud.devices.power_plugs.GenericPlug object at 0x10b20ead0>, <meross_iot.cloud.devices.power_plugs.GenericPlug object at 0x10b20e4d0>, <meross_iot.cloud.devices.power_plugs.GenericPlug object at 0x10b20e1d0>]
>>> shelf = manager.get_devices_by_kind(GenericPlug)[0]
<meross_iot.cloud.devices.power_plugs.GenericPlug object at 0x10b20e510>
>>> shelf.name
'Living room shelf'
>>> shelf.get_electricity()
# ... snip
meross_iot.cloud.exceptions.CommandTimeoutException.CommandTimeoutException: A timeout occurred while waiting for the ACK: 10
>>> shelf.get_status()
# ... snip
meross_iot.cloud.exceptions.CommandTimeoutException.CommandTimeoutException: A timeout occurred while waiting for the ACK: 10
>>> manager.stop()

    raise CommandTimeoutException("A timeout occurred while waiting for the ACK: %d" % timeout)

Happy to share any more details or run any commands to help debug. Thanks 🙏

Alright. Given the enthusiasm that this library has generated around, I’ve decided to completely rewrite the framework. I’m sorry for the delay that this will cause, but the new version will hopefully solve most of the major problems arose with current version.

Hi guys and thanks for the support. I’ve got a MSS310 HW version 2.0 and I will test it in the next days. I’ll keep you posted.
