Seriously?
, you felt the need to post this reply/query for clarification i.e. as an example of my instruction to use a string that doesn't contain spaces?
# Put the MACs each on its own line but they will be concatenated into a single contiguous/unbroken string
MAC_LIST="c8:2b:96:4e:b5:16|\
c8:2b:96:4e:e7:dd|\
c8:2b:96:4e:94:bb|\
2c:f4:32:e4:8b:7e|\
c8:2b:96:4e:b7:e5|\
c8:2b:96:4e:e4:24|\
c8:2b:96:4f:17:96|\
c8:2b:96:4e:df:6e|\
c8:2b:96:4e:b7:e4|\
c8:2b:96:4f:24:3a"# Define the variable with spaces for readability.....
MAC_LIST="c8:2b:96:4e:b5:16 | c8:2b:96:4e:e7:dd | c8:2b:96:4e:94:bb | 2c:f4:32:e4:8b:7e | c8:2b:96:4e:b7:e5 | c8:2b:96:4e:e4:24 | c8:2b:96:4f:17:96 | c8:2b:96:4e:df:6e | c8:2b:96:4e:b7:e4 | c8:2b:96:4f:24:3a"
MAC_LIST="$(echo "$MAC_LIST" | tr -d " ")" # Remove embedded spacesDESC="$(echo "$SYSLOG" | grep -oE "$MAC_LIST")"grep -oE "$MAC_LIST"grep --help
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERNS [FILE]...
Search for PATTERNS in each FILE.
Example: grep -i 'hello world' menu.h main.c
PATTERNS can contain multiple patterns separated by newlines.
Pattern selection and interpretation:
-E, --extended-regexp PATTERNS are extended regular expressions
-o, --only-matching show only nonempty parts of lines that matchHopefully you will now understand why the special '|' delimiter character sequences in "$MAC_LIST" are extremely important and, unlike in this sentence, acknowledge that whitespace chars are very significant, and will subtly alter the criteria for an exact regex match.Hopefully, now that the script is working, you won't need to hack it to introduce bugs.

? - but let's get the auto-start @boot resolved first!

Yeah like that will stop me!
Easily justifiable that this is your entitled prerogative/perk because of the rules
1. I pay the bill.
2. I have the admin password.
3. Who do they turn to when the internet is DOWN (assuming you didn't cause it - but even if you did then refer to Rules 1 & 2).Glad my simple SyslogEventMonitor template script was eventually useful, although with hindsight it is probably only useful to give you time to identify the root cause - assuming you have the motivation to deal with the specific light bulb vendor (or does it happen with any brand of Smart Light Bulb?)
This issue only happens on these lightbulbs and when I tried contacting the seller about a FW update for them, he simply said "we no help u wit this" so I think I'm out of options here unless I open up a lightbulb up and see anything on the chip to identify its maker or whatnot. I have another smart bulb from a known brand Nedis and it works flawlessly with the app and everything, no issues with it what so ever, so I know it an issue with these crappy lightbulbs . To be honest, now that I have it working, I think I'm just gonna leave it as is, and the next lightbulbs I but ill make sure they are either official stuff (expensive) or maybe a different Chinese brand with a different android app to see if It works out-of-the-box.
