+Certain sensors may flip status from time to time.
+To guard against false reports,
+.Nm
+implements a state dumping mechanism.
+However, this inevitably introduces
+an additional delay in status reporting and command execution,
+e.g. one may notice that
+.Nm
+makes its initial report about the state of monitored sensors
+not immediately, but either 1 or 2 minutes after it is being started up.
