Thanks for getting back to me.
Somebody volunteered to help with some testing. Unfortunately, none of the four methods JMRI knows for setting op switches seemed to work for the BDL716. So we’re somewhat stuck at this point. The next step is to try to do some reverse engineering of what the BDL716 understands, but that’s a slow and complicated process, and I don’t have direct access to a BDL716.

@BobJacobsen - not sure if anyone responded. We are using a 716 (and a 168) - and have the latest version of JMRI and can install test versions/etc. What do you need to write a decoder definition for it? We can help.
While the 716 seems to be working, I have noticed unexpected behavior on occasion. For example, a sensor(s) will go inactive when occupied and nothing has moved. The hack is to clear the section/re-occupy the section and the sensor is back active (and behaving). It may be related to toggling layout power or restarting JMRI - but have not found a pattern.
