Ok, I understand now.   You want a set_with_timer event to be canceled 
if something outside of mh (e.g. your direct rf -> device command) sets 
that same device.

I think we can do this by adding this test in lib/Serial_Item.pm sub 
set_receive function:

     return if &set_prev_pass_check($self, $state);

                                 # Override any set_by_timer requests
     if ($$self{timer}) {
         &Timer::unset($$self{timer});
         delete $$self{timer};
     }

This is the same code that we use to cancel timers in the 
lib/Generic_Item.pm set method.  The set_receive method is what is 
called when mh sees incoming serial data match one of its objects.
