Version:
Board: Duet 3 MB6HC (MB6HC)
DSF Version: 1.2.4.0
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC v0.6 or 1.0 3.0 (2020-01-03b3)

GCode meta commands are not yet supported by DSF, so for now on Duet 3 they only work in standalone mode. You need one of the RRF 3.01 release candidates to use them, but you are running 3.0. That's also why your m409 command doesn't work.

@monster This does beg the question, if an axis is homed, why do you want to home it again? Or am I missing something?

Well, this is good question ofc
Answers rather "creative"

Let's say I powered printer up, pushed home button.
After that a print would like to re-home it before starting - that is reasonable.
Or I simply ordered heads to move and now want to re-park them

There might be few more ideas why but of course you may say that they are not very needed and can be worked around, that is true.
So I guess best answer I could give is - why not? :)))) Just for sake of exercise on printer control

Is there a good way not to miss actual release?
