PowerShell based cmdlets / Commands

Great that you still are maintaining the cmdlets!

Regarding my worries for unrelyable status on znet devices. My worries was not wrong.
I made some testing with znet device that was almost out of range. Often when I send on to the device. The physical device was turned on and status was set to on in telldus live. But some seconds later the status was automatically set to off again in telldus live. Under device history you could then see that the status change was discarded because verification was never received from znet device. This resulted in znet device turned on and status as off in telldus live. I guess this is something that can never be 100%. But it would be good to be able to request status directly from znet device or trigger a status update in telldus live as I thought was possible in the beginning.

But I guess I could always double check device history for any errors.

hmm, alright I get the problem at least. Might not be easy to solve "client side" but I guess I could potentially add a switch (-ConfirmCommand or something like that) that polls the history and wait for the verification to be registered, and if not resend the same command as a "retry".

Or maybe that would too much of a hack... What do you think?

I can try to take a look at the API docs and see if Telldus have added some info about how to handle this as well when I get some time.

I think if it would be possible to trigger re-fresh of status, then that would be great. But the "hack" stuff I think is best to leave out of the module..

Set-TDSensor -NewName can not be used to delete the name (set it to blank) ?!

Seems you're right. I can't get the API explorer to clear the name of a sensor either. If I post a empty value using the Telldus Live! web page it does set the name of the sensor to "(no name)", but as soon as a I refresh the page the old name is back.

So not entirely sure it's possible to clear the name, or I've misunderstood something.

What would be the use case of that?
