validation error for Settings

[hello-world-dot-c]

I followed the instructions at https://sml2mqtt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html for running sml2mqtt on an SBC under Armbian. I created the config file based on the example but when running sml2mqtt with it, I always get

(venv) user@mybox:/opt/sml2mqtt/venv$ sml2mqtt --config ../sml2mqtt.conf
1 validation error for Settings
devices -> 11111111111111111111 -> skip -> 0
  str type expected (type=type_error.str)

This happens no matter what I put under "devices" and also when I enclose the value with ""s. An excerpt from my config file:

# Serial port configurations for the sml readers
ports:
- url: /dev/ttyUSB0
  timeout: 3


devices:
  11111111111111111111:
    mqtt:
      topic: house

    skip:
    - 010060320101

    values:

Python version is 3.9.2.

You have to quote the entry under "skip":

skip:
- 010060320101

should be

    skip:
    - "010060320101"

Without quotes it's a number with a leading 0.

Found that it's not the device ID but the skip values that are the problem, when I do this:

    skip:
    - "010060320101"

it accepts it even though it goes against all examples that I could find. Other notes:

This

values:
  0100010800FF:

is not matched against received values while this

values:
  0100010800ff:

works. Making these strings all-uppercase or all-lowercase for comparison wouldn't be a bad idea IMHO.

Lastly, if you define a values section for a value that is not (yet) received, sml2mqtt crashes when using the -a option:

Thanks, figured this out in the meantime. Note that the example on the configuration page doesn't have the quotes around the skip value:

Fixed in the rewrite
