No really an issue, but a question of best practice #72

I use telldus.addDeviceEventListener

to listen on my switches. When for example switch 10 gets triggered I want to turn on three devices. However, for every device I turn on the addDeviceListener is triggered again. Why is this happening, is the device sending it's status to tellstick when the status has changed, or is tellstick triggering itself?

What I understand, yes, Tellstick is triggering itself.

To be fair, changing the state of a device is a "device event", regardless of it's source. Imagine an application where several distinct modules all track device state by use of addDeviceEventListener.
