I have a silly problem, I have tried a few things and searched for the forums but not found anything yet.

I have a light that can be controlled by a Nexa Switch, either use the physical switch, or from pressing "on" on a remote. This means that the physical switch doesn't report back to pilight, not really an issue normally. The problem I am hitting now is I am trying to include a rule, so a motion sensor turns the light on. If the device is set to on in the GUI then it doesn't send the ON command. I want to to send ON regardless of what pilight thinks it is. Any ideas?

(I am using pilight 8.0.7)
