I've tried mine again to be sure, and it definitely doesn't work as you describe. I also use a set 100, the only difference is my using MERG rather than Lenz decoders and maybe a different software version in the command station. I return to the idea that I discarded in response to earlier post, that maybe these decoders remember the position the point was last set to, and ignore any further command to put them to the same setting.
When I get the time I'll have a play with powering the decoder down and up while the command station is still running, destroying any such memory, and see if this makes any difference.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I have been been a Lenz user since Aug 95. Set 100 since 03. I am not saying Lenz is better or worse than other systems just great for me.
Dual control of points with Lenz work very well, with or without feed back. Don;t do it now because all that wiring became a pain. Only use DCC to op points now.
To change points with Lenz the +/- buttons are used to activate the point. I set mine so + means point is set for straight thru - sets points for diverge.
If the point is set for straight track( + showing on LH100 control) and the point is operated by hand or push buttons on panel to diverge position + is still showing on control (no feed back).If the - button is pressed nothing happens at the point because the point is already at the - position but - is now showing on control which is correct because that is the way the point is set. If the + button is pushed the point will change to straight thru and + is showing on control which is also correct.
This is the way every Lenz system that I have seen works. Most of my friends and club members use Lenz.
I only use Peco points and motors with Lenz LS150 accessory decoders. CDU's are not used or needed as LS150 pulse at programed time (choice of 1-10 seconds) and shut off.
I can not see why any solenoid point motor with only 3 wires would not work same way with Lenz.
BTW firing two Peco points in tandem, eg crossover, is no problem. Operating Peco points with Lenz works fine for me(99%). I don't think any system ever works 100%. I have seen the most expensive and sophisticated systems fail occasionally.
