Not a bug, but is there a fix for this issue with malformed position Wifi names in Watch protocol?
Do you have some HEX samples?
Here are three examples. Im trying to get the Marktdown right.
[LG_Wall-Mount A/C breaks the string with ] at the end of the Wifi Name [LG_Wall-Mount A/C].

https://github.com/traccar/traccar/commit/f1de2533c3527aefc6f9eb15277128bb8d8ec3cb
Have tested and working correctly. Thanks for the support.
Within the watch protocol we can see that the device reports positions with the Wifi names and mac addresses of Wifi routers / Hotspots which are in close proximity.
More often in the log i could see that devices disconnected from the server because of an NumberformatExeception.
After looking closely at the log i see that many of these occurrences are because of the devices reported positions which include Wifi names that use brackets in the Wifi Name.
For instance names like [Wifi Hotspot] , [LG_Wall-Mount A/C] or [Washing Machine]
This create the NumberformatExeception since because of the ] bracket at the end of the Wifi name the server sees this closing bracket ] as the end of the string. And since this is incomplete data it will result in the NumberformatExeception error and disconnects the device.
After some time the device comes online again, but logicly goes offline again if it still reports the wifi name with closing bracket ] in it.
So, question is, can you think about some kind of fix for this ?
For instance ignore that data string in this case so that the device does not get disconnected (or any other idear which might not break the data string). I would think its better to discard that malformed data then make the device go offline constantly.
