Hey guys Could anyone give me some help please I have 5 IKEA gu10 spot lights - I set up a flow for when the light switch is turned on then it will turn on the lights - unfortunately it taking about 3 seconds from when the light switch is pressed to when the lights come on - not sure why this is happening ![IMG_0761](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/5/c5b449468f7b3c1c3c3230d4460cf86f35a9318a.jpeg) ---

I’m facing the same issue. My conclusion was that issue is related to the light switch, and not to the lights. When I trigger a flow from within the app, the lights respond immediately. But when you press on a button on one of the light switches (Tradfri in my case), it takes seconds before the lights respond. It would be very nice if there is a way to shorten the response time. ---

You can also discover what is slow, by adding timeline notifications, or log cards (Simple Log app f.i.) -Notification is sent at the time the lights turn on → the trigger is delayed -Notification is sent at the time the switch is turned on → the lights respond delayed Also, Homey is not good at sending too many signals at once. And, it fires all action cards at random (asynchronized) It’s best to add a little delay between every 2 or 3 lights. However, the flow editor’s smallest settable delay is one second, which is quite absurd. When you group your lights, using an [advanced virtual device](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198) (Device Capabilities app) or \< group \> app, devices are commanded synchronised (one after another, not at once), and with the \< group \> app you can add a delay in the milliseconds range if you like, it is added between every light command ---

Thanks for the reply guys found it’s only sometimes they have quite a long delay - the lights usually switch on 0.8 seconds after pressing the switch which I don’t mind it’s when it takes 3 seconds - when we have anyone round and use the light and it takes longer then usual they will turn the switch on and off a few times as they think it’s not working - then homey gets confused ---

For too many on off actions in a row, you can add a timer which makes the trigger to be ignored for a few seconds, like this ![Screenshot_20230521-014412_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/8/d8634bcd8bc0119cd5677fdb6e5c72ee5b32d8e5.jpeg) ---

I have problems with all my ikea buttons, slow, or not working at all… really annoying. ---
