How to convert string data into integer using json module in dictionary?

Question

I am controlling a smart light bulbs and publishing their status in UI dashboard, as a status I am getting a string data of "ON" and "OFF", but instead of this string data I want to get an integer data of 1 and 0, is there anyway I can convert this string data into integer data using JSON module in Python Dictionary.

Some of The API code of my smart Bulbs is here:

 if (_deviceUrl.getcode() == 200):
     data = _deviceUrl.read().decode("utf-8")
     # Use the json module to load the string data into a dictionary
     _theJSON = json.loads(data)
     # 1. status
     devicedata['on'] = self.on_dict[_theJSON["action"]['on']]
     # 2. brightness convert to %
     devicedata["bri"] = int(round(float(_theJSON["action"]["bri"]) * 100 / 255, 0))

The usual way is to use the int() function: i.e. int("123") -> 123. — martineau

You can use following construction:

devicedata["on"] = 1 if _theJSON["action"]["on"] == "ON" else 0

It's pretty self-explanatory.

One way to replace a string with an integer like that is to define a separate dictionary:

ints = { 'OFF': 0, 'ON': 1 }

So for example if the value of d['action']['status'] is the string "ON", then ints[d['action']['status']] returns the integer 1.
