yes--the status request is sent from the PLM to the switch and the 
returned insteon value is used to update the state of the switch.  You 
shouldn't expect to actually "see" anything.  IMO, using the status 
method for any switches is pretty silly assuming that you have the 
switch linked to the plm as any change in status is already known by mh.
