meshtastic --set remote_hardware.available_pins does not work

[mikecarper]

I would like to turn off allowUndefinedPinAccess true
meshtastic --info

  "remoteHardware": {
    "enabled": true,
    "allowUndefinedPinAccess": true,
    "availablePins": []
  },

So I'm trying to set pin 16 and hopefully 17 as being available, but starting with just 16 for now.

Trying to set pin 16

meshtastic --set remote_hardware.available_pins "0x10000"
Connected to radio
Aborting due to: non-hexadecimal number found in fromhex() arg at position 5

Using int gives me this error

meshtastic --set remote_hardware.available_pins "16"
Connected to radio
Adding '16' to the available_pins list
Aborting due to: does not support assignment

Trying these also does not work

meshtastic --set remote_hardware.available_pins "[16]"
Connected to radio
Adding '[16]' to the available_pins list
Aborting due to: does not support assignment

meshtastic --set remote_hardware.available_pins "{16}"
Connected to radio
Adding '{16}' to the available_pins list
Aborting due to: does not support assignment

meshtastic --set remote_hardware.available_pins "(16)"
Connected to radio
Adding '(16)' to the available_pins list
Aborting due to: does not support assignment

Trying to add it via a yaml file

Set remote_hardware.allow_undefined_pin_access to False
Set remote_hardware.enabled to True
Adding '[{"gpio_pin": 16, "name": "GPIO 16", "type": 2}, {"gpio_pin": 17, "name": "GPIO 17", "type": 2}]' to the available_pins list
Aborting due to: does not support assignment

available_pins: [16, 17]
Set remote_hardware.allow_undefined_pin_access to False
Set remote_hardware.enabled to True
Aborting due to: object of type 'int' has no len()

available_pins:
  - gpio_pin: 16
    name: "GPIO 16"
    type: DIGITAL_WRITE
  - gpio_pin: 17
    name: "GPIO 17"
    type: DIGITAL_WRITE

Aborting due to: 'dict' object has no attribute 'startswith'

@mikecarper were you able to get remote hardware to work even with remote_hardware.allow_undefined_pin_access set to True? I'm encountering apparent silent failures on stable (2.6.11).

It was never consistent; different g2s operated differently when given the same GPIO commands. So with the same hardware model the GPIO behavior was inconsistent
