  await connection.send(Request.delete(newId));

  print('Deleted locomotive');

  try {
    // Send command which will result in an error
    await connection.send(Request.get(20000, {Argument.name('status')}));

Example

The example can be run with

dart ecos_communicator_example.dart <ip address> [<id: 20000>].

Will only work on turnouts with 2 states (normal turnouts)

This will connect to the ECoS and present a cli interface. Updated on the turnout state will be printed in this way:

Switch: straight or Switch: curved

Usable commands:

• s: Will switch the turnout
• c: Will disconnect the listener on turnout updates
• m: Will reconnect the listener on turnout updates
• close: Will close the connection and stop the program
