I have 5 FIBaro dimmer 2 hooked up to switches. If I press 5 switches together all lights go off together as you’d expect However, if I send a command via Homey then basically they all go off at varying intervals taking 20seconds or so to actually complete If I go via Alexa it’s even worse (groupe…

Hmm I’m no expert on the subject, but I don’t think there’s much you can do. When you press the physical switch, the signal will go to the switch instant without delay. The dimmer vil shut down the lights and then send out the signal to Homey with a delay. When you shut off the lights via Homey, H…

I would program the switching commands delayed by 1 second, which protects against overloading the Z-Wave network.

I don’t mind a delay (even 5 seconds), but what I would like is for all the lights ideally to go off ‘together’ @DirkG will try your option - if it works I can work around Alexa. It’s still not ideal however as it’s not ‘all on’ it’s ‘all on one by one’!

If you press the buttons manually, you don’t need to send a command to Homey, it will be done in the background bit by bit. The Fibaro Dimmer 2 also works without a connection to Homey.

Yeah, i get this - i’m not expecting it to be ‘instant’, a small delay is fine. 20 seconds with random turn off order and sometimes failing isn’t good tho - I’m just looking for ways to improve this. With my wifi bulbs (Yeelight), if I turn off multiple bulbs they go off together (near enough)

I have 22 of those dimmers (mainly to have my lights still working work when Homey does not). To overcome the issue I use a 1 second delay between each action in the flows and do not use the general “switch off all lamps” card. (e.g. lamp 1, lamp 2 with 1 second delay, lamp 3 with 2 second delay, et…

The group app will attempt to retry if toggling the device fails. There was a git hub feature to automatically add a delay floating around as well. But generally you will still find the same delay exists, the more items you add to the group - the bigger the delay. [image] < group > Ma…
