Thanks @falkena!

The pulse thing enabled me to replace this:

// things
Thing  digital Outputs [ kind="Q" ]
Thing  memory  VB0_2   [ block="VB0.2" ]
// items
Switch  Relay3    "Relay#3"   (LOGO1)  { channel="plclogo:digital:PLC01:Outputs:Q4" }
Switch  PLC01_NI2 "PLC01_NI2" (LOGO1)  { channel="plclogo:memory:PLC01:VB0_2:state" }
Switch  VButton2  "VButton2"  (LOGO1)
// rules
rule "forward VButton2 command to logo NI"
when
    Item VButton2 received command
then
    // short pulse
    sendCommand(PLC01_NI2, ON)
    sendCommand(PLC01_NI2, OFF)
end

rule "update VButton2 from logo relay"
when
    Item Relay3 received update
then
    postUpdate(VButton2, Relay3.state)
end

with this:

// things
Thing  digital Outputs [ kind="Q" ]
Thing  pulse   VB0_1   [ block="VB0.1", pulse=100 ]
// items
Switch  Relay1    "Relay#1"   (LOGO1)  { channel="plclogo:digital:PLC01:Outputs:Q2" }
Switch  PLC01_NI1 "PLC01_NI1" (LOGO1)  { channel="plclogo:pulse:PLC01:VB0_1:state" }
// rules
rule "forward Relay1 command to logo NI1"
when
    Item Relay1 received command
then
    sendCommand(PLC01_NI1, ON) // short pulse
end

to make my light switches work as I expect (physical click on the wall and virtual click in habpanel).

Best Regards and happy new year to you too!

PS. I know that the base version was overcomplicated but still… the pulse thing made me re-think this and get a simpler solution.
