With a log app like SimpleLog, I add cards to trigger-, condition- and action cards.  
That way you can see _what_ is slow or, “taking its time”, and, from my experience, it can’t be the flow itself, **unless Homey is way overloaded**

- What is your systemload? —\>
- 
  - Run the [SysInternals app](https://homey.app/nl-be/app/com.sysInternals/sysInternals/)  
What are the system values it returns?

- Issues I’ve read about:
- 
  - Did you replace the power unit with the new recommended ones? The original power unit slows Homey 2023 CPU down (much), because it’s output voltage is just a bit too low.

- 
  - Did you replace the USB-C cable with a shorter one? The longer cable seem to lower the voltage a bit to much

A flow with log cards everywhere:

No panic, adding the cards can be done whit a script , for a flow or a selection of flows. The script is work in progress, but here it worked fine:

> [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Simple (Sys) LOG - Use this app for Simple (Sys) Logging](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-simple-sys-log-use-this-app-for-simple-sys-logging/77533/6):

> Script to automaticly include Simple Logging cards into your flows Use this script to automaticly add logging cards to your (advanced and normal) flows: It adds logging to each flowcard’s error catch in advanced flows. Also it adds cards to the triggers (WHEN), conditions (AND) and actions (THEN). It will generate one Automater flowcard in each flow. This card can be used to configure each flow on it’s own: Update: When you set this to No, the Autmoater card itself will not be changed when …

##### Other slow stuff:

- Sensors: _wifi_ sensors (on battery) can take up to 8 seconds to send an update, so not very suitable for instant detection
