[Bug] Toggle state is wrong sometimes

[Dexwell]

Thanks for the fantastic plugin.

Sometimes the toggle says my TV it's on when it's not. Can this be fixed?

Should be fixed with version 0.8.3!
Please let me know if it works better now!

Seems to work great so far 🙌🏼

[merdok]

Good to hear! Thanks for the info!

Hmm, seems it isn't completely fixed after all. Siri says the TV is on when turned off with the remote. Only after I open the Home app first the TV accessories update to the correct state.

I could reproduce the issue once with my setup, but after i asked Siri the second time right after the first one, then Siri announced the correct state.
Anyway i will check that out and see if i can improve it even further.

[Dexwell]

Yeah, HomeKit probably does the same state 'Updating' after the first voice command.

The TV doesn't sends out any signal to homebridge after it was turned off with the remote that is why the state needs to be checked every time the user requests the tv state. I believe the issue with siri is that it just lags the first time when she is asked about the tv state.
But still, this should not happen and i will check out if i can come up with a solution for that. I am currently busy, but i will check it out next week.

The homebridge-yeelight plugin has a heartbeat that checks the status of the WiFi lamp every 10secs. Maybe this helps with building a solution: https://github.com/vvpossible/homebridge_yeelight/blob/master/yeelight/lib/yee.js#L90

Thanks for that. Will check it out!

I did some modifications, hopefully this is fixed now with the last release.
