[QUOTE="ronsonol, post: 152045, member: 48959"] Hi Patrick, Yes, even when the queryplc is run after reboot the status is unknown until an on or off is seen by the device either from RF remotes or sent from the computer. You make some good points about the status of certain objects. What works for my setup may not for others. For example, I have both a entrance door and garage door hooked up. Now I have it configured so that when its off - or no power, its in a failsafe to locked mode. Its possible, that someone has decided to do things the other way around, and sending OFF commands might not be good. Other products I've used, just show the status as OFF, but as you said you'll never be able to detect a problem state. As you said, one can just copy the png file and replace the unknown if they please. Afterall, this is a limitation of the actual x10 hardware, and not the plugin. It might be best how it is, after all it is working great. I really love this plugin of yours, Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
