synchronous functionality

[gjcopperwheat]

Hi,

I'm not seeing the functionality expected with "synchronous": true.

Three lights and some Python code to bit bash a 433 MHz transmitter. All three lights configured to the same room in Home. Turn the room off and three instances of the transmitter code are initiated almost straight away, there's no attempt made to sequence them - see below.

Transmitter Log File

2022-01-02 14:45:36,335 2758 DEBUG: new instance started

2022-01-02 14:45:36,528 2762 DEBUG: new instance started

Have I misunderstood the functionality?

Thanks.
