Which type of Livolo device is this? I don't have any actual Livolo devices here, but the information I have talks about a 'dimmer', a single-gang appliance module, and a 3-gang appliance module. To turn on, they all use 'toggle' to switch state. You can also use 'off', but this is always a 'group' command, so the unit code (last part of the topic) has to be '0' (or alternatively '+').

In the rfx-light-out node configuration, you can tell it to repeat each message after a delay. If the delay was set to 60 seconds, and the command you were sending is 'toggle', it would give the effect you describe of turning on then turning off after a minute. Is that what is happening, maybe?
