Additional context

That happens only on a tasmota device with shutter configuration

missing the version you are using e.g.

decode-config.py v12.1.1.1 [083fb72] by Norbert Richter nr@prsolution.eu

that's the very first line of decode-config.py -V

I can't reproduce it using v12.1.1.1 [083fb72], not even with a shutter device. I suspect the error is due to some string settings of your device. Pls can you provide the binary config (e.g. per mail).

decode-config.py v12.1.1.1 [87254b6] by Norbert Richter nr@prsolution.eu

Script: decode-config.py Python: 3.7.3 Platform: Linux-5.10.63-v7+-armv7l-with-debian-10.12 - armv7l OS: Linux 5.10.63-v7+ #1496 SMP Wed Dec 1 15:58:11 GMT 2021 Time: 2022-09-01 10:29:43

binary file is on the way

[curzon01]

thx, can't still reproduce using

./decode-config.py -s Config_RL_AZ_11.0.0.3.dmp

Does the error already occur on your env using send dmp?

Thanks for your help. I checked it on a another Linux and it worked. It turned out that the $LANG variable on the failing device has to be set to "export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8". Than it worked.
