Case sensitiveness of the Bluetooth Address

[ouinouin]

Hi,
I had a lot of difficulties to connect to my Thermostatic valves, I had to learn a bit javascript to finally understand that if you enter in the nodered field an address like : 00:1A:22:0D:E9:B4 , this will lead the noble-device function discoverWithFilter (in utils.js from the noble-device JS libs) to never match with 00:1a:22:0d:e9:b4 as represented by noble. I suggest you to insert a function to force the letters to be lowerecased or to mention explicitely this limitation in the help.
I think as a user of the noble library , this Case sensitiveness issue would be better solved in the noble library , what do you think ? do you have a bit of time to push this issue to noble devs ?
Regards and thanks for giving us back control on thermostats :-)

Hey @ouinouin, thanks for reporting the issue, as you mentioned it should be quite easy for fix the issue both from out side and noble side. Unfortunately currently I am quite busy with another project of mine as soon as I find the time will release a new version that has this issue fixed meanwhile if you feel like fixing the issue yourself and opening a PR I can make sure the code is updated after the merge.

Maybe it would be good to document this in the node documentation that this is case sensitive and that it should be specified in small capitals.
