I noticed this also after adjusting the logic so that the item's state 
only changes on acknowledgment from the device.  This implies a small 
delay (usually less than a second); but, apparently not enough to 
support the web page requery.  Most of mh's items--being descendants (of 
sorts) of non-ack protocols (specifically, x10)--assume that everything 
always works as originally instructed and therefore set state to the 
value that is transmitted.

I haven't personally looked at the web code to see if perhaps some 
exception is possible.  More than likely, it will take a proper 
AJAX-like implementation to support inherently async timing/protocols.
