International (Swedish) characters in device names not handled #16

Closed glitz1 closed 6 years ago

glitz1 commented 6 years ago

I have a few virtual devices with Swedish characters (åäöÅÄÖ). If any of these characters are in the device name, I get the error below in the event log and the list of devices in the configuration dialogue in the "published alexa devices" is blank (no devices are shown). I have version 3.0.20 of the hue bridge and Indigo 7.1.1.

Please correct this, I really want to be able to use Swedish characters in the device names. I guess other characters (like for example German) will generate the same error.
