SCPI Test Instrument Driven with Python Socket Returns Data Inconsistently

Question

I'm trying to get data from a temperature chamber consistently. My code:

import socket
import time

class TempChamber:
    def __init__(self,name):
       self.name = name

    def creat_tcp_connection(self):
        sock_tcp = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        sock_tcp.connect(('192.168.17.141', 5025))
        return sock_tcp

    def sendCommand(self,command):
        sock = self.creat_tcp_connection()
        print(command)
        sock.send(command)
        time.sleep(2)  # Needed to have commands fully send
        packet = sock.recv(1024)
        print("Received ", str(packet))
        sock.close()

    def id(self):
        self.sendCommand(b':*IDN?')

If I run the test code in quick succession as seen below (five times) I'm returned 3 of the 5 requests generally. Sometimes, I get the full 5 back, sometimes I get four back.

from TempChamber import TempChamber

t = TempChamber("Test")
for x in range(5):
    print(x)
    t.id()

What I tried: (1) Introduced a time.sleep after the command is sent and before the data is received. I expected consistent data 10 seconds also produces inconsistent results.

(2) I tried the top ranked response from this stack overflow link but my DMM does not respond to the packed messages. Are there any alternatives to this method?

(3) I notice now this may be something to do with my Temperature Chamber(control product number: Watlow F4T), not exactly the code. I'm using the same code to retrieve data from my digital multimeter and I get 5 responses every time I run the dummy code. Considering I only need to send/receive data from the temp chamber periodically and not in rapid succession like the DMM, this (the stack overflow question) may be a moot point.
