As previously reported, I've had events firing off because the Hub has reported a device as off.

Tonight, I've got my motion sensor set to turn a group of Hue lights on when motion is detected. Twice tonight, one of the three lights has not turned on as part of that action.

Thinking about it now, its not a CastleOS problem. A couple of nights ago when CastleOS was down, I had to press the all off button twice in my Hue app as Hue didn't turn off all lights.

CastleOS knows that 2/3 lights are on. So I'm thinking, once CastleOS has sent an action to Hue, it should then ask Hue if the status of the light has changed to on/off. If not, try again. This should make Hue more stable, until Philips fix their Hub

CastleOS polls the Hue bridge for updates once per second. It has no choice but to wait for the Hue bridge to update state and mark value changes. I don't think checking more frequently will help since it seems to be a multi second lag on the Hue side in these cases...
