Thanks guys.

My version is 3,2,78,1,43 for the microswitch... so will try and find out details. Cheers

Refer to wiki link in the last paragraph.

Moving vera closer to the device seems to make no difference. I have tried changing the polling frequency, but still seems to take minutes due to number of devices.

Try setting parameter 80 to 1 (see screenshot) and see how you go.

Mate... that works just like magic! I had tried everyone for advice but no one had a clue. Everything now responds and is triggered within seconds. Thanks!

Yep works for me as well on HS system - thanks big time!

BTW per manual 1 enables HAIL, 2 enables Basic CC report - any idea what is the difference? Both seem to provide immediate status.

Correct, both (ultimately) do the same thing. Depends on your setup / what controllers you have / which of the mechanisms they support.

Do you have more technical details on hail/CC report? I'd like to understand this in more detail if possible....

[oTi@]

A hail says the device needs attention and thus can serve as a trigger (e.g. in a controller) to poll that device (e.g. to get a basic report).

The basic report just says what the status of the device is right away.
