unable to set wifi_password to a numeric string

[kyle2222]

firmware: firmware-heltec-v2.1-1.2.52.b63802c.bin meshtastic --version 1.2.55 meshtastic --set wifi_ap_mode false --set wifi_ssid myWifiAP --set wifi_password 123456789 Connected to radio Set wifi_ap_mode to false Set wifi_ssid to myWifiAP Aborting due to: 123456789 has type int, but expected one of: bytes, unicode

Same thing occurs when I put quotes around the wifi_password string.

Can you run meshtastic --support and paste that here?

Thanks. I think there is a bug in fromStr function.

For now, if you put a letter in that password, you should be able to continue.

[kyle2222]

understood, the problem is that I have many many devices using a numeric password that would need to be reconfigured :-(

[mkinney]

I'll have a fix shortly. I removed code that I thought was "dead" in the last update.

[mkinney]

New version for you. Close this issue if it works for you.

Thanks for your help.

[kyle2222]

confirmed fixed. You are awesome, thanks so much!

@mkinney I'm so glad you are here! ;-)
