Just want to chime in. If you use variables to convert a toggle command to behave in theory like discrete commands, you need to also program a help page to re sync the system when necessary.

You save lots of time by always specifying components with discrete commands.

My recommendation is to limit variable use to elegant shortening of macros as does dualtriamp, this type of variable use does not require the additional work of creating a help page.

With cable and satellite TOADS, Dale is correct. There isn't any real purpose in turning them off, they still consume the same amount of power.

The upcoming MRF-400 is the correct solution for tracking power status, since it includes sensor ports that can detect when a component is on or off, then issue the toggle power command when necessary.

We hope to ship it in a few weeks!

Best Regards,
