Non numeric vaules send to Home Assistant even though main.CheckDigitIncreaseConsistency is set

The Problem

I think since v16.0.0 non numeric vaules are send to my home assistant instance. I did not observer this with earlier versions. The included log is from home assistant.

Version

v16.0.0

Expected Behavior

Values, that include 'N' are dismissed and no longer processed, threfore I set this in my post processing (but it did not help): Gasmeter: [PostProcessing] main.DecimalShift = -1 ;main.AnalogToDigitTransitionStart = ;main.ChangeRateThreshold = PreValueUse = true PreValueAgeStartup = 720 main.AllowNegativeRates = false main.MaxRateValue = 0.5 ;main.MaxRateType = AbsoluteChange main.ExtendedResolution = false main.IgnoreLeadingNaN = true ErrorMessage = true main.CheckDigitIncreaseConsistency = true

Watermeter: [PostProcessing] main.DecimalShift = 0 ;main.AnalogToDigitTransitionStart = ;main.ChangeRateThreshold = PreValueUse = true PreValueAgeStartup = 720 main.AllowNegativeRates = false main.MaxRateValue = 0.2 ;main.MaxRateType = AbsoluteChange main.ExtendedResolution = false main.IgnoreLeadingNaN = true ErrorMessage = true main.CheckDigitIncreaseConsistency = true
