 In order to damper endless on/off cycles, this implementation sets an 
 [async throttle](https://pypi.org/project/asyncio-throttle/) for each device.
 If there is a need to tweak that, the attributes are located in
-[kasa_wrapper.py](https://github.com/flavio-fernandes/mqtt2kasa/blob/main/mqtt2kasa/kasa_wrapper.py#L26-L27).

 **NOTE:** Use python 3.7 or newer, as this project requires a somewhat
 recent implementation of [asyncio](https://realpython.com/async-io-python/).
