Is anyone using the digitalloggers component with the new Pro switch model? I get this in my log:

2018-05-23 10:26:30 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.switch] Error while setting up platform digitalloggers

I’m guessing something in the API must be different enough that the dlipower library doesn’t support it.

I’ve logged an issue against the dlipower library. This doesn’t seem to be a problem with HASS.

Thank you for posting this. It’s the first hit on google and saved me hours of troubleshooting.

Fix is to use the Digital Loggers web interface for the power strip. Go to Setup, and enable legacy plain text login:
