I’m fairly new to Homey and have only recently got my setup up and running. I’m still building out the system and adding more devices and automations. My Homey is a Homey Pro Mini.
I’m experiencing quite a noticeable delay when controlling devices through Homey, and I’m trying to figure out whether this is related to my setup or a more general issue.
One example is motion-controlled lighting. The motion sensor detects movement immediately – I can see its LED flash – but it can take around 5–10 seconds before the light actually turns on.
I’m also seeing similar delays with other devices and protocols. For example, I have an IKEA Matter button controlling a roller blind, and after pressing the button it can take several seconds before the blind starts moving.
Because this happens with different types of devices and not only Zigbee, I don’t think the problem is necessarily related to one particular sensor, device, Flow or protocol.
I’m trying to determine where the delay occurs:
-
between the sensor/button and Homey
-
in the Flow / Advanced Flow
-
between Homey and the device being controlled
-
or more generally in Homey itself / the communication path
Has anyone else experienced similar delays across different device types or protocols?
Is there a good way to log or measure exactly when Homey receives an event from a sensor/button and when the command to the controlled device is actually sent?
Any suggestions for troubleshooting this would be appreciated.
