What exactly is the difference between

Code:

IF ... THEN switch DEVICE lamp TO off

and

Code:

IF ... THEN switch DEVICE lamp.state TO off

?

I've seen both in examples. So what does `lamp.state` do in comparison to `lamp`? I assume that switching the state is only switching the GUI element's visual state but not the real state of the device... so this would reset the GUI switch to off but not switch off the lamp itself. If yes, what is it used for?

Thanks in advance.

The second one is a wrong entry and should not work.
Could you please post the thread where you found this so it can be corrected?

Thanks for reporting.
I corrected the post and also deleted your code snippet (beause contained also the wrong code)
