Hello, I have been searching and trying various suggestions, but I have not been successful. I want to command Vera to poll a specific device, and I want that command to come via its LAN interface. My most recent attempt looks like this:
but, of course, it does not work, or I’d not be here asking for help.
Why do I want to do this? I have established that there are times when Vera is not (yet) aware that a light is on or off (until the switch is next polled). I want to be able to tell Vera to poll the device right now, rather than during the normal cycle. It is also a learning thing for me. Thanks, Brian
Good morning. Thank you, BOFH, for your suggestion, however I did not find what I was looking for in the thread that you identified.
Note that I am not trying to get a report back FROM Vera. I am trying to get Vera to poll a specific device so that Vera records the correct state of that device. I have found an occasional disconnect between the actual state of a dimmer (e.g. on / off) and what Vera believes the state to be. (I can replicate this condition easily, but a fix for it will is probably in a future Vera firmware update. It has been reported.)
This ‘disconnect’ is usually corrected upon the routine polling that Vera does of the devices. I am looking for the command sequence that can be sent to Vera to have Vera immediately poll the specific device, update the recorded state, and run any scene scripts that might be associated with that change of state.
