Hello! I just picked up the Switchbot Evaporative Humidifier and am learning about the Switchbot API (and I am new to using APIs).
I am able to get the device to turn on and off via REST commands. Boy did that feel good when I finally got it to work! However I am unable to change the mode of the device. I have a feeling it's a syntax thing or I'm not including the parameter correctly.
This is what Switchbot's API documentation provides for commands:
deviceType
Humidifier2
commandType
command
Command
setMode
command parameter
{"mode": mode_int, "targetHumidify": humidity_int}
Description
set the mode. mode_int, 1, level 4; 2, level 3; 3, level 2; 4, level 1; 5, humidity mode;* 6*, sleep mode; 7, auto mode; 8, drying mode; targetHumidify, the target humidity level in percentage, 0~100.
This is the code I'm using - returns a "Success" message via Developer Tools/Actions but nothing happens!

I'm using instructions from here: https://www.speaktothegeek.co.uk/2023/07/switchbot-api-v1-1-and-home-assistant/
And API documentation from here: https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/SwitchBotAPI?tab=readme-ov-file#send-device-control-commands
Thanks y'all!
