Automation Priority / Run Time?

Anybody got info on automations priority?
I’ve setup some motions to turn the lights on but the more automations I have, it seems to slow it down and becoming delayed.

Some things I’m not fussed about but the lights / switches I am.

There is no priority setting.

Posting the automations you think are slowing down home assistant might help us spot issues.

Unless you’re running on underpowered hardware, the number of automations shouldn’t matter. When I had a Pi3 I had some 300 automations, and no problems.

Now, the triggers you use may make a difference, but simple state triggers shouldn’t matter.

What hardware are you running on? How many automations do you have?

Thanks both.

I’m running on a good spec Synology, so don’t think HW would be the issue.

Looking further into my logs, I think I need to start there. I can see some code changes have broken things but I know I’ve jumped some versions of HA so I’ll clear those up.

I’ll post my automations but they’re quite basic too… But to add, I also had a corrupt DB again last night (exact same issue as this) - I removed the 3 DB files (main and two temps) and HA booted again.
