I want to connect to a bluetooth device, there are 2 devices with similar name. The names are abc123 and deabc123. I would like to connect with abc123, so I would like to give textMatches to abc123, if I do so I get the bellow error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in

and if I use textContains it matches with the device which appears first on the page, so sometimes with abc123 and other times with deabc123

JSON call:
{'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'method': 'getText', 'id': 'd529221e5f66c0037e0f5f8d13435a68', 'params': ({'mask': 2097170, 'childOrSibling': [], 'childOrSiblingSelector': [], 'textContains': 'abc123', 'className': 'android.widget.TextView', 'resourceId': 'android:id/title'},)}
JSON result:

Kindly help with this. Thanking in advance
