Capabilities

Under the previous ecosystem you could command devices to “refresh”, I want to assume you can still do this under the current ecosystem, but want to ask how since is not documented as being capable nor proper command(s) to send. I assume something like (json):

                command: ''refresh",
                capability: 'refresh',

By forcing a refresh every so often (every ~12 hours), I have noticed that it fixes the issue. Currently have “Pollster” app running on the previous ecosystem to do this. I like to bring into the current…

That’s going to be the disappointing answer to a lot of questions - like Capability “Momentary” :disappointed:
