* How to deal with missing/incorrect updates? E.g. get after set that returns the old value? How to reliably figure out if we need to do this at all?

Does this vary by device? .. else I kinda expect a REPORT to occur after a SET.. So maybe just assume the old value until a REPORT comes back. Otherwise associations wouldn't work - right.. ? :)

This "discussion" serves as a question storage for me. You're free to ask questions, but please do that under a different category.

To answer your questions: A SET does not get a response. Some devices might report the updated value after a SET, many don't. Hence why many API methods have a GET after each SET currently. For some devices, this GET returns the new value, for some it returns the old or a transitional value.
