   EMAIL = "yourname@yourdomain.com"
   PASSWORD = "password"
   DEVICENAME = "living room"
   

2. Login API and get current status.

   # Login
   api = JciHitachiAWSAPI(EMAIL, PASSWORD, DEVICENAME)
   api.login()
   
   # Check device status
   # device_status = api.get_status(legacy=True) # return legacy status class
   device_status = api.get_status()
   print(device_status[DEVICENAME].status)
   

3. Set a new status to a device.

   # Set device status
   # For available command names and values, please refer to
   # model.py->STATUS_DICT
   if api.set_status(status_name='TemperatureSetting', device_name=DEVICENAME, status_value=27):
       print('Success')
   else:
       print('Failed')
   

4. Check the updated status.

   # Check the updated device status
   api.refresh_status()
   device_status = api.get_status()
   print(device_status[DEVICENAME].status)
