Keeping the TS-07 Output and Task buttons in sync?

Notice that is is quite easy to get the state of the Output buttons out of sync with the function on the TS-07. I have some remote sliding gates which can controlled either via the TS-07 or from some C-bus (Square-D) control keypads. The keypads ultimately control the relay in M1 that the TS-07 does I use a phantom lighting address and write a rule to swicth the relay either on or off.

Assuming the TS-07 is used to control the relay the yellow indicator stays in sync if something else controls that relay other than the TS-07 then it get out of sync. Basically I can not trust what the TS-07 ot ELKRM are telling me and I have to physically check that the gates are closed.

Documentation on the function and control of the yellow indicators is somewhat thin on the ground.

Appreciate if someone could throw some light on the subject.

That all said it would also be nice to get a better understanding of how the TASK indicators are meant to work too. Is there rules that enable you to force the yellow indicator to reflect the same state the rule action is ie on or off.

I can't see how a task indicator would help, as you can't turn on / off a task, you can only execute it. I haven't seen the output issue yet, but I will do some testing tonight. I don't remember the specific details, but I remember there are some checkboxes that have to be enabled if you want updates to be broadcast through the main serial/xep interface, do you have these enabled?
 
Everytime any output changes state, an output change message is sent out the serial port. The TS07 should receive the message and update its status.

If you are doing some creative Rule writing where the output is not directly controlled from the button, there could be a sync problem. Make sure everything controlling an output is doing it directly.

A Task is just a Rule that can be fired from any device or a Task can act as a subroutine which is triggered from multiple other Rules.
 
Thanks Dan and David,

I have found a rogue rule that is the cause of my grief! Duplicated the rule only one was on and the other toggle :angry:
