Decode/encode base64 names
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hi,
Internally, the bulbs store their name in base64. Your program should be able to send an encoded name and decode it when reading from the bulb.
Not sure about this, internally base64 encode happens inside Yeelight API. You can give and take plaintext from it. I don't think you have to encode and decode, the API already does that.
As stated in the documentation:
This is what happens when you use special characters in your program and try to get properties from the bulb's memory via telnet:
If you encode and decode in base64 you can properly view those special characters. This is from the tool I developed:
Another example:
First I set the character ñ as the name
Then I just hit refresh, nothing else, and your program doesn't know what to do with it
New version with this feature in settings is live.
