Emit IR - Sometimes it does not work about orvibo HOT 1 OPEN

hi,

I am using your code with Fauxmo.py.
for calling IR command, I made a simple ir_handler to deal with IR device(tv commands). the handler code as below:

class ir_handler(object):
def init(self, on_cmd, off_cmd):
self.on_cmd = on_cmd
self.off_cmd = off_cmd

def on(self):

#IR on command
r = requests.get("http://localhost/")
device = Orvibo('192.168.0.27')
device.emit_ir('dummy.ir')
device.emit_ir(self.on_cmd)
dbg("IR on Done")
return r.status_code == 200


def off(self):

#IR off command
r = requests.get("http://localhost/")
device = Orvibo('192.168.0.27')
device.emit_ir(self.off_cmd)
dbg("IR off Done")
return r.status_code == 200

---code end--
I encountered same issue which the IR didn't trigger at all. I presumed the status of the ALLONE might be in sleep mode so I use my cellphone app to kick it and it seemed work 80% of times. the Fauxmo is running under python 2.7. any hint which I can make the ir command more reliable?
