Use a Scene
I found I needed this too. My example is turning on a light when a door is unlocked. This light was also frequently turned on/off by the lightswitch itself so HomeSeer would not always know the current state.
Originally I did add a Poll Device State followed by a 2 second wait to turn the light on but this seemed kinda clunky.
So the thought occurred to me to create is own Scene with the single light at 100%. Voila! You just change the event to activate this scene each time and it works regardless of the state HS thinks the switch it in.

I would not want to force send all commands so it would need to be a selective action just like check status is.
- send a command
- poll the device to make sure its status is synchronized
- send the same command again
you may need to add some "Wait" actions between the 3 actions

I could add a setting to force the plugin to send the action no matter what it thinks the status is, but this could add a lot of UPB traffic if actions are not wisely managed.
Is it with some specific devices you have problem with?
Did you try to use the poll action to re-sync the status?

Occasionally a device fails to act on the instructions in a link and the status table or however the program keeps track of devices and their state is out of sync.
Is it possible to force a device to take an action despite its status in the table?Tags: None
