Twitter error on incremental temp alarm **solved**

I set up an incremental alarm condition to send a tweet when the temperatures are below freezing. I had tested it using SMS and it worked great. However when I tried using the same parameters using Twitter I got this error: sed: unmatched '/' can not decode tweet (bad character) (no more tries)

My alarm condition is: {* (30 - [th0temp-act=F.0:0]) / 2 *0}
My tweet string is: [HH]:[mm][APM] - Freezing temperatures in Hickman County, 8.5 miles NE of Centerville : [th0temp-act=F.1]F

Apparently this occurred at 3:06 AM, when the temperature was 34.2°F
This morning, while it was 33°F, I pushed the test button and it tweeted correctly.

What puzzles me is that I cannot see a "/" character in your tweet message.

I tested it at the 40°F threshold and it worked just fine.
However, it looks like we've had the last of freezing weather, so it will be some time until I can see those temps.
I'll report back in six months.

I am pleased to report that this problem no longer exists.
I can only assume that something was fixed in the newer versions of software.

As winter approaches I am testing with a higher trigger point. All is working well.
