This applies to a ceiling fan light that only has a Light Toggle RF signal, not discrete ON/OFF signal. This can create a problem where you ask Alexa, Google or IFTTT to turn a light ON when it is already ON, and the BOND then will send the toggle signal which will actually turn the device OFF. Our solution to this problem is, to keep track of the state of the device on our server, and do not send the Toggle signal if we think the device is already in the requested state.
