I’ll check if this is something that we support for community development.

For what it’s worth, Ryan Applegate indicated it is in this thread:

Eventual consistency?

Does the smartthings cloud run on a model of eventual consistency? I’m really confused about the runtime environment. In the following simulator output is the debug output from a smartapp which is a bit like the ‘gentle wakeup’ app. Every 5 seconds, it is supposed to update the state.level by +5 percent, and set that level in the dimmer. Things seem ok until I start to look at the dimmer value via a subscription to the “level” attribute. In the app: “increment” updates the state.level and calls “setAllDimmers” “checkLevel” outputs the state.level and the dimmer level “setAllDimmers” sets the level on all the configured dimmers 21:09:01: debug in setAllDimmers: setting dimmer to level 15 21:09:01: debug in increment: calling setAllDimmers with level 15 21:09:01: debug in increment:…
