    Hello there! I have problem with MK II touch screens. After restarting the screen some icons have incorrect state, for example some blinds are shown like they are closed, but it's not true and some other icons have same problem. After pressing on such button, it get's the real state of the controlable device, but how can it be improved not manualy every time?

    The touchscreen state at startup may be incorrect (I can't recall off hand whether this is one of the things saved to non volatile memory and restored), however it should be updated to reflect the current state by the MMI (status correction mechanism).

    This would not happen though for groups that do not have output units on the same network as the touchscreen (status correction does not work across bridges). In this case it will be incorrect until the touchscreen sees (or generates) a message that sets the state (which is what you seem to be seeing).

    So, for the touchscreen and groups, that belong to different networks, there's nothing possible to be done for solving this problem?

    There is, but you need to have a device that stays online all the time that has a logic engine. Then you can write logic that basically, when it sees the screen connect, broadcasts the state or level of all the groups that you need to be able to see.

    Basically write your own status correction. I have had to do it on a few of our systems, where we have panels that are mobile and can be unplugged and replugged around a venue, and so to get around your problem I wrote some code that would reset the levels for the groups that are needed.
