Method for opening port but not read?

[carl689]

Is there a way to open the port but not read the port until prompted?

The reason I ask is I have a device that sends constant data when port is open that I would like to be able to send command to, and occasionally read back it's status. I COULD just receive the data and ignore it, but I would obviously prefer to not send all that traffic unnecessarily over the wire.

No, there's no ability to do that. I suppose the only thing would be to
open the port and then disconnect the websocket. When you want to read then
reconnect the websocket.
