Usage

from hikconnect.api import HikConnect

async with HikConnect() as api:

    # Unlock device
    await api.unlock(my_device_serial, 1)
    
    # Cancel call for device
    await api.cancel_call(my_device_serial)

    # call this periodically at least once per 30 mins!
    if api.is_refresh_login_needed():
        await api.refresh_login()

If you are new to async Python, you simply need to wrap your code in a construction like this:

import asyncio

async def main():
    # put the original code containing `async` keywords here

asyncio.run(main())

More info in the async docs.
