This example connects to the SwitchBot API and returns a list of devices associated with that account.

Requires the following palettes to be installed:

node-red-contrib-credentials - For storing credentials: https://github.com/Steveorevo/node-red-contrib-credentials
random-generator_node-red-contrib - UUID Generator: https://flows.nodered.org/node/random-generator_node-red-contrib

Then follow the SwitchBot documentation to make different API calls: https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/SwitchBotAPI
