Hi

I am trying to follow the guide listed here for using the Xbee device

[https://xbplib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting\_started\_with\_xbee\_python\_library.html](https://xbplib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started_with_xbee_python_library.html)

I am, however, encountering an issue when I use the following in my script:  
“from digi.xbee.devices import XBeeDevice”

In that I am getting the error

“cannot find reference ‘xbee in’ in **init** pyi”

Any idea as to how I should fix this?

Thank you.

I would suggest looking at [digi.xbee.devices — Digi XBee Python library 1.4.1 documentation](https://xbplib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/digi/xbee/devices.html?highlight=from%20digi.xbee.devices%20import%20xbeedevice#)

The function of “From Digi.xbee.Devices” does not support the function you are calling of “import XBee.Device”

Hi

Thank you for the response

Regardless of which I import I still get the same error:  
“cannot find reference ‘xbee in’ in **init** pyi”

I assume this has something to do with my IDE setup or paths?

Kind regards

Try using the PyCharm with the Digi XBee Plugin.
