Changes in STATUS message in versions R50 and R51

[javicalle]

Just to report to other users and follow up, inform that a possible change in RFLink STATUS messages has been reported.

In RFLink versions R50 and R51, the HA integration (with the Aequitas library) causes a WARNING log parsing the gateway's STATUS message:

Code: Select all

From what I've observed in both versions, the message arrives without the final semicolon, so the library doesn't parse the message correctly and logs a WARNING.

From what I've been able to verify, this behavior has changed since version R48, where the semicolon does appear in the message:
