How to refresh app/device status after reboot?

Groovy / Source question

I have been noticing that after a hub reboot, some of my devices are out of sync. How can I force (in the device drivers and/or apps) to issue some command (like refresh) when the hub is back up after a reboot?

Perhaps youcan do this with a rule?

Use the location event systemStart and the trigger, and run a refresh() for all the devices you need whose drivers expose the refresh() command.

Thank you. I am specifically looking for details on how to do this in the drivers and apps I write. I want the system to be able to self-correct even if auto-refresh is turned off on my systems

You can look at the Initialize capability for drivers. This may be available for apps, but Im not sure.

Thank you.

initialize() needs the capability added to work. That appears to be what I was missing.

initialize() - runs first time driver loads, ie system startup when capability Initialize exists, a Initialize command is added to the ui.

It definitely does. That messed me up regularly early on.
