$insteon->set("on~3~off") does not work for all devices

[marcmerlin]

voice_cmd.pl: $gar_outlights_kpl->set('on2off');
^^^ -> yep it works for a KPL's main light, at least on most days :)

voice_cmd.pl: $garage_incandescent->set('on2off');
^^^ -> doesn't work for appliancelink

Kevin's reply:
Hmm. Well if it works in some places, we can probably make it work everywhere. Like I said, I haven't even found the code that enables this to work. Let me keep looking.

I have no idea where in MH the support for this is. It is somewhere in Generic_Item or possibly in the mh script itself. I suspect if I could find where this is supported, I could figure out why it works on some device types but not others.

If anyone is able to find it let me know.

I spent a while reading the code and here's what I found:
Generic_Item.pm:
sub state_overload {
my ($self, $flag) = @_;
if (lc $flag eq 'off') {
$self->{states_nomultistate} = 1;
$self->{states_nosubstate} = 1;
}

I didn't quite see/understand why some Insteon devices need this, and some don't, but I found that setting this makes on3off work:
$fmr_blind->state_overload(ON)

Does that help?

Either way, I'm doing better now that I have workaround for the issue :)
