I copied and pasted the "MSG URL Usage" example and I'm getting this error:

Error at line 1: Failed to reach end of input expression, likely malformed input
Error at line 1: Syntax error
Error at line 1: Halted

the program is exactly the example:

msgbranch [mybranch]
print "set the branch"
wait

[mybranch]
myColorVar = msgget("color")
print myColorVar
let myReturnMsg = "You Entered " & myColorVar
msgreturn myReturnMsg
wait


I'm using a sonoff device with 1 meg. Is it possible that this command is included in the modules removed due to the shortage in memory? (see the download page for Alpha 3.0 branch)

Delete the entire first line and retype it from scratch. I think you might have a bad character in there.

You were very right, that solved the problem.

Thanks!!!
