Hardware

Heltec v4 (was not an option in the list)

Is this bug report about any UI component firmware like InkHUD or Meshtatic UI (MUI)?

• Meshtastic UI aka MUI colorTFT
• InkHUD ePaper
• OLED slide UI on any display

Firmware Version

v2.7.16.a597230, flashed with a full erase.

Description

I am having issues writing an admin key to my Heltec V4. According to the CLI it is written, but it isn't actually stored.

➜  pipx run meshtastic --set security.admin_key "base64:MYPUBLICKEY" --host 192.168.200.4
Connected to radio
Adding 'base64:MYPUBLICKEY' to the admin_key list
Writing modified preferences to device
Writing security configuration to device

➜  pipx run meshtastic --host 192.168.200.4 --get security.admin_key
Connected to radio
security.admin_key: ['base64:']
Completed getting preferences

---

Worked fine for my other node though (a Heltec V3) and I can manage it, so I know it's not my public key/the command itself:

➜  pipx run meshtastic --host 192.168.200.3 --get security.admin_key
Connected to radio
security.admin_key: ['base64:MYPUBLICKEY']
Completed getting preferences

I flashed the nightly firmware build and tried again, but that had the same result. Tried via USB serial as well, but no luck.

After a reboot it seems that the USB serial variant did work, so just the HTTP variant didn't work. Very odd.
