<![CDATA[button name]]>Hello,

I am using a flic button to control the surround status of my sonos spreaker using sdk. Worked fine for years. I am now noticing that the button name I want to give is (sdk://sonos?ip=<ip-address-of-soundbar>) suddenly too long. The app only allows me 23 characters.

Ive noticed the other flic buttons on the hub have the same limitation.

Is this new? Can I fix this?

Thanks for the help.

As mentioned here: https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/flic2-documentation/wiki/Flic-2-Protocol-Specification#get-and-set-name, the name is maximum 23 bytes.

This has been the case for a few years. Before the name was only stored locally in the phone (or hub) and then this restriction was not in place.

I suggest you to use a shorter name, e.g. prefix it with "s:/" and then add the IP address of your soundbar.
