Feature request: Change module connect procedure regarding password #74

Closed mark-epstein closed 10 months ago

mark-epstein commented 10 months ago

Currently the module (tested on 2.1.4) will not connect if the module is configured for a password, even if the pjlink device does not require one.

If the projector/display transmits PJLINK 0\r no password is required; the module should communicate even if a password is provided in the module configuration. If the projector/display transmits PJLINK 1 XXXXXXXX\r (where XXXXXXXX is a random sequence of characters, the module should try to encrypt its messages with the configured password as it does currently.

Use case: this allows a Companion user to turn off the password requirement in the projector/display without changing anything in Companion. One less variable when trying to troubleshoot connection issues.
