It provides a PowerSwitch class that wraps the device's HTTP API, letting you turn outlets on and off, query their state, and rename them programmatically. The module also includes a command-line script for manual management. It targets legacy hardware: ProSwitch, WebPowerSwitch II through V, and Ethernet Power Controller III.\n\nThe package has no external runtime dependencies and works on macOS, Linux, BSD, and Solaris. However, it is dormant\u2014the last release was in 2018 and the repository shows no active development. It is suitable only if you operate legacy Digital Loggers hardware and need Python integration; for newer power management solutions or actively maintained alternatives, look elsewhere.","worth_installing":"Yes, but only if you operate Digital Loggers hardware and need Python control. The package is stable and license-permissive, but dormant since 2018\u2014no active maintenance, high install friction (source distribution only), and uncertain compatibility with modern Python versions. Verify device compatibility and Python version support before committing."},"id":"dlipower","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dlipower","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dlipower.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dlipower/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-06-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dlipower","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Control digital loggers web power switch"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":232677,"position":9058,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.176"}
