Send initial read commands on reconnect, too?

Maybe have an option in the plugin settings.. that is True by default.

Not possible as a generic solution, as some connection classes do not connect (or, more exactly, connect anew for every send event). This would behave differently in different connection/protocol classes.

Maybe therefore a non-default extension? Or a protocol layer handling reconnect and resend (as in kodi/json-rpc?)

[onkelandy]

understood, however not sure what you mean by extension..
non-default is fine, manual enabling via plugin settings...?

[Morg42]

Either a "custom" :) extension of the device.py class, e.g. using on_connect() to initiate initial reading (again) (take care of the self._initial_values_read), or a simple protocol layer which implements reconnecing as often and with custom delay/block counts.
Initial reading is a device function, so maybe the first attempt is more practical.
