### \_\_init\_\_()


Initialize the RC_2SPDT_A18 device.


Usage

``` python
__init__(
    interface,
    **kwargs,
)
```


#### Parameters


`interface: str`  
Communication interface identifier.

`**kwargs: dict`

------------------------------------------------------------------------


### setSPDT()


Set the SPDT switch position.


Usage

``` python
setSPDT(port=1)
```


Integer value of a byte that represents the switch states. Each bit in the byte represents the state of an individual switch with value: 0 = Connect Com port to port 1 (SPDT) Connect J1 \<\> J3 and J2 \<\> J4 (transfer switch) 1 = Connect Com port to port 2 Connect J1 \<\> J2 and J3 \<\> J4 (transfer switch) The least significant bit (LSB) represents switch A and the most significant bit (MSB) represents switch H (if applicable).


#### Parameters


`port: int = ``1`  
The port to connect to (1 or 2), defaults to 1.


#### Returns


`str`  
Response from the device.
