Do Eurotronik Spirit buffer commands?

This is a question to Spirit owners who use Blockly or Dzvents programs to them.

I noticed that simply programs that switch the thermostate mode OR change a setpoint work very well with the spirit. But if you put two or three commands in a row, the thermostate behave bugged. An update of the setpoints with followed thermostate mode do only change one setpoint (the first one). A thermostate change first and update the setpoints after that, do change the thermostate without changing the display and ignoring the setpoints. For domoticz you catch a "device not available" for the second command in a row.

My suggestion is that the spirit is a linear device that can or will not buffer a row of commands. Simple programs that do one tiny step work pretty here.

Who has experienced the same?

Could be, that you need to use a few seconds delay between the commands. I have Stella-z valves and there it works like that. But I think it applies to all z-wave devices when you are using openzwave. In case you issue multiple commands at a time, it happends that only the first command will be accepted.
So try to use delays. :) Hope it helps.
