Query real-time status of Haier IoT washing machines and dryers at SJTU Minhang campus.

When to Use#

Invoke this skill when the user asks about:

• Washing machine or dryer availability
• Whether any machines are free
• Laundry room status for a specific building
• When machines will finish (estimated completion time)

python3 {skill_dir}/laundry_status.py

Specific building:

text

python3 {skill_dir}/laundry_status.py --building 西16楼

All buildings:

Machines are listed in priority order: 空闲 first, then 使用中 (with finish times), then 故障 and 离线.

Available Buildings#

Use the building name (e.g. --building 西16楼) or ID (e.g. --building 27136). If the user does not specify a building, default to 西21楼.

Error Handling#

• Network timeout or failure: The script exits with a message to stderr. Tell the user the request timed out and to check their network connection.
• Unknown building: The script reports the invalid name and lists valid buildings. Tell the user the building was not found and offer the available options.
• API error: The script reports the API error message. Tell the user the service returned an error and to try again later.
