Timing
The timing to execute a command depends on the length of the command (in
case of concatenated commands).
As a rule of thumb electromechanical switches require approximately 30ms to
switch position. It is safe to consider some safety margin and increase this
timing to 40-50 ms before issuing this command after setting a new switch
position.
Multiple switch commands are not executed in a sequential manner but rather
in parallel.
