Timing out IDENTIFY_DEVICE - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

My feeling is that if Identify is expected to timeout there should be a parameter in the packet to specify the timeout. Without this parameter it should wait till the Off command is sent.

Otherwise we end up in a mess where some fixtures time out in 1 min, others in 5min and others will never time out. Specifying a timeout in the packet would remove ambiguity and give the controller control.
