Eufy driver adding, not replacing attribute values

[scottmil]

My ioBroker driver for controlling Eufy HomeBase cameras is updating by adding new attributes with the same name rather than replacing the values of attributes I declared. My code and screenshot attached.

If you refresh the screen are the multiples still there?

I am able to replicate this problem in a minimal driver if I use spaces in the attribute name. I'm not aware of anything saying this is strictly forbidden, but it is definitely non-conventional; convention is to use camel casing starting with a lowercase letter, like thermostatOperatingState or colorMode. I would suggest using attribute names like that instead for this reason alone.

However, I'm still not sure that what you're seeing should actually be happening, and I did not test whether it was just a display issue or if the underlying event creation (and apps that may subscribe, etc.) were affected. My hunch is that it might just be a display issue in the browser; the duplicates disappeared when I refreshed the page, as @thebearmay asked.

Guessing @gopher.ny might be the person to ask for this.

Minimal test driver:

This demonstrates the issue above; to "fix," replace instances of my attribute with myAttribute (or similar).

metadata {
	definition (name: "Test Driver with Custom Attribute", namespace: "Test", author: "Test") {
		capability "Actuator"
        attribute "my attribute", "STRING"
        command "setTheAttribute", ["STRING"]
	}   
}

void setTheAttribute(String value) {
    log.debug "Setting 'my attribute' to: $value"
    sendEvent(name: "my attribute", value: "$value")
}

void installed() {}

void updated() {}

Thanks @bertabcd1234 !! Changing my attributes to camel case solved the problem!
