awilliams / wifi-presence

Hi Adam,

Thanks for this great integration!

However, my WiFi SSID begins with UTF-8 character and then ASCII one, like ω=2πf.
In this case, status from hostapd_cli gives something below, which mixes \x and normal ASCII chars.

ssid[0]=\xcf\x89=2\xcf\x80f

wifi-presence/internal/hostapd/status.go

Lines 58 to 67 in b2b64ea

    
           case "ssid[0]": 
        
           	if strings.HasPrefix(val, "\\x") { 
        
           		val = strings.ReplaceAll(val, "\\x", "") 
        
           		h, err := hex.DecodeString(val) 
        
           		if err != nil { 
        
           			return err 
        
           		} 
        
           		val = string(h) 
        
           	} 
        
           	s.SSID = val

The code above just replace \x and then decode hex, which still contains non-hex chars, resulting Error: encoding/hex: invalid byte on my device. I'm not familiar with golang though, but maybe we could use strconv.Unquote instead? (Ref)

Thanks

Thank you for the detailed report @zhangjingye03, and sorry you are experiencing that issue.

I believe you've identified the section of code responsible for this issue. I'll take a closer look in the coming days and hopefully will have a fix soon.

@zhangjingye03 I've added a fix (#8) for your issue. Please, if you can, try out v0.2.0 and let me know if it fixes your issue. Thanks

Closing. Please re-open @zhangjingye03 if you experience any related issues.

	case "ssid[0]":
	if strings.HasPrefix(val, "\\x") {
	val = strings.ReplaceAll(val, "\\x", "")
	h, err := hex.DecodeString(val)
	if err != nil {
	return err
	}
	val = string(h)
	}
	s.SSID = val

SSID with mixed UTF-8 and ASCII characters cannot be handled correctly
