ZW_RequestStatus

 boolean ZW_RequestStatus (int $InstanceID) 

Parameters

InstanceID

ID of the device

Returns

If the command succeeds, it returns TRUE, otherwise FALSE.

Description

Queries the status from the device with the ID InstanceID. Only power-operated devices can be queried directly by command, because battery-operated devices do not permanently listen to the queries.

Warning

This function loads the radio traffic considerably.
It should be used only to upgrade critical equipment for the IP-Symcon start. A renewed queries at runtime is not required, because Z-Wave sends normally all status changes directly to IP Symcon. Older devices which refuse to do so, should be replaced with newer equipment.

Example

ZW_RequestStatus(12345);
