from signalrgb.client import SignalRGBClient

# Initialize the client
client = SignalRGBClient(host="hyperia.home", port=16038)

# List all effects
effects = client.get_effects()
for effect in effects:
    print(f"Effect: {effect.attributes.name}")

except ConnectionError as e:
    print(f"Connection failed: {e}")
except EffectNotFoundError as e:
    print(f"Effect not found: {e}")
except APIError as e:
    print(f"API error occurred: {e}")
