## Quick Start
### 1. Get SinricPro Credentials
1. Sign up at [sinric.pro](https://sinric.pro)
2. Create a new Switch device
3. Note your `APP_KEY`, `APP_SECRET`, and `DEVICE_ID`
### 2. Minimal Example
```c
#include "sinricpro.h"
#include "sinricpro_switch.h"
#define DEVICE_ID "YOUR_DEVICE_ID"
#define APP_KEY "YOUR_APP_KEY"
#define APP_SECRET "YOUR_APP_SECRET"
/* PowerState callback */
static bool on_power_state(const char *device_id, bool *state, void *user_data)
{
printf("Device %s\n", *state ? "ON" : "OFF");
gpio_set_level(GPIO_NUM_2, *state); /* Control LED */
return true; /* Return true for success */
}
void app_main(void)
{
/* Initialize WiFi (code omitted for brevity) */
/* Configure SinricPro */
sinricpro_config_t config = {
.app_key = APP_KEY,
.app_secret = APP_SECRET,
.auto_reconnect = true,
};
/* Initialize */
sinricpro_init(&config);
/* Create switch device */
sinricpro_device_handle_t my_switch = sinricpro_switch_create(DEVICE_ID);
/* Register callback */
sinricpro_switch_on_power_state(my_switch, on_power_state, NULL);
/* Start */
sinricpro_start();
/* Send event (e.g., button press) */
sinricpro_switch_send_power_state_event(my_switch, true,
SINRICPRO_CAUSE_PHYSICAL_INTERACTION);
}
```
### 3. Build and Flash
```bash
idf.py build
idf.py flash monitor
```
