Thanks for the report. I'll have a look at this for the next version. Not sure yet whether to increase the length of Track or to slice the reported value. I don't think you'll be able to see the entire string in a HomeKit app?

[jsiegenthaler]

Hi. I think truncating the string would be the simplest. I don't know of any HomeKit app that could display 64 characters anyway...

In v.1.1.7.
