Hi, i currently connect my Niko Home Control V2 (NHC) via virtual Devices in Homey (bridge) to Google Home (Ghome). i see that this connection is not really responsive: often a lot of delay between controlling the device in Homey, before an effect is seen in Ghome, or even worse: i need to open the Ghome app in order for the automations to actually run 🤷‍♂️. it’s seems to be a known issue, although it’s not clear to me if this is more pronounced in Homey bridge than in Homey Pro (mini), due to the native support for virtual devices? Anyway, i’m thinking of upgrading to Homey Pro Mini in the near future and i was wondering if anyone ever tried NHC Hobby API + MQTT to control NHC from Homey. any known limitations to this? kind regards, Floris ---

I’ve a Pro 2019 and it’s very fuzzy when Homey → Ghome automations run or when devices respond. It can take minutes. Really odd while Ghome → Homey responds instantly, but I seldom operate my devices from Ghome.
