Thanks, Bob, I'd missed that somehow.

With Ethernet or direct USB connection, this is not a problem. Both of those are communicating with one node per connection.
With an RS485 connection, you have to use polling to avoid collisions if you have more than one node on the RS485 link.

On a related note, a question about your "unsolicited messages". How are you protecting against those unsolicited messages colliding with JMRI polling for other nodes? I'm askin in this thread because it would seem to me that it could cause problems with the JMRI polling sequence in general.
Thanks

Thanks for the testing. This will be in the next test release.

Thanks Bob, that's great - all confirmed working as expected.
Change node polling behaviour in node - done, done, save - return to node edit - settings as saved.
Same with exit JMRI and relaunch - polling settings as expected.
Polling occurs when expected (ie when enabled and a sensor exists on the node address) and doesn't occur when not.
Still no errors in the console log when unsolicited responses arrive.
Thanks so much for this Bob!
Regards,
Chris
