More Information

Script2 combines separate command-execution and optional HomeKit-acknowledgement deadlines with per-switch duplicate suppression, serialized opposite-state actions, shared state reads, and late-failure reconciliation. A long-running command can continue after HomeKit is acknowledged without being launched again; if it subsequently fails, Script2 bypasses its cache and corrects HomeKit using the configured state source.

Additional controls include configurable state-cache lifetime, optional cache reset after successful actions, configurable handling of ordinary nonzero state-command exits, filesystem-based state notifications, and stateless switches that trigger on either On or Off and reset without issuing another command.

The distinction is this combination of behaviors in a focused, configurable switch plugin—not a claim that basic command execution, polling, or queues are individually exclusive to Script2.
