Description

When you toggle a smes via the rcon system (turn it on and then off) it wont turn of but it will show like its off on the rcon. However it will output power but not draw from the batteries. When you walk to the smes and turn it on and off manually the magic power does stop.

Research direction
Investigate the RCON toggle logic in the SMES code. Check if there is a state mismatch between RCON and manual toggles. Look at the DM files handling SMES power and RCON interactions. Compare the behavior of turning on/off via RCON vs manual to ensure proper state transition. Consider adding logging to verify power output and battery levels.
