GetDeviceLabelAsync doesn't work

[johndcollins]

I'm trying the get the label of the device instead of just the Hostname, but the call to GetDeviceLabelAsync doesn't work. It just hangs and never returns.

I changed the method to async and I got it to work. Not sure why it didn't work with a non async method.

@johndcollins glad you got it working but what to you mean a non-async method? The method is async

[johndcollins]

I meant from a non async function. I tried to use it with the .Result after and it never returned. Same happens on the other functions.

Yes don't ever use Task.Result in a multi threaded app. It can deadlock the application (as is likely what happened here)

Ok, good to know. Thanks. In my list I wanted to show the Label of the light instead of the hostname.
