openHAB 2.5 - Wemo Accounts compatability

Well, I don’t know if it was related to the “upgrade” to WeMo Accounts but this happened shortly after the “upgrade” to WeMo Accounts. The reliability of my WeMo devices has gone way down. My openHAB frequently does not have/get correct status for WeMo Insight Smart Plugs and I will have to toggle the switch to get a WeMo Insight to respond. For instance to turn my dehumidifier on I will issue 3 .sendCommand. ON, wait a few milliseconds, OFF, wait a few more milliseconds, and ON again. Boom, works every time now. The other thing is I’ve had to create “shadow” switches, switch items not associated with any things, which I switch on and off in parallel with the actual WeMo switch. I check the status of that item in rules which need to query the state of the WeMo item. I will cross post part of this in [SOLVED] WeMo Reliability
