Hi KK,

Unfortunately, we use the "*" character as a special wildcard in the 2-way command prefix matching logic. There is no way to define a command that only is triggered by the actual "*" character at the start of the message.

The only solution would be to use a single generic callback, and then include special processing of the "*" message in your own callback script logic.
