Team,
sorry for the dummy question but I continue to get an error.
Starting from the TCP component I modified it to send a sequence to the destination.
It works fine till when I try to send a special sequence.
I get this error:

Teh payload is:
DEFAULT_PAYLOAD: Final = "\x3F\x89\x01\x50\x57\x0A"
I tried to replace
sock.send(self._config[CONF_PAYLOAD].encode())
with
sock.send("\x3F\x89\x01\x50\x57\x0A")
I know it should be trivial but I’m not able to understand
