Delay hue event in homeassistant versus operation hue app

Configuration
1

I need some assistance.
All our lighting in the house is Philips Hue, complemented with hue wall switch to make our normal light switches smart.
So far I had controlled everything via a Conbee II and the Deconz addon in Home Assistant. Here I could not notice any delay when running a deconz_event.
However, since my wife would like to activate the Hue scenes via the Hue app, I removed the Conbee II and installed two Hue bridges. One on the first floor and one upstairs.
Runs also everything very well and stable but in some rooms we have motion sensors and light switches in use, so far I have turned off the automation of the motion sensor when turning on the lamp via the light switch and turned on again when the light was turned off via the light switch.
This does not work in the Hue app and I would like to map my automations exclusively via Home Assistant.
If I use the same automations as under Deconz and replace the deconz_event as a trigger against hue_event everything works but I have about a second delay when pressing the light switch when turning on the light.
Is this normal?

Thanks for reading the long text and any suggestions for solutions.

Here is one of my triggers:


trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: hue_event
    event_data:
      id: wohnzimmer_lichtschalter_button
      type: short_release
      subtype: 1

that’s probably normal…

conbee and deconz are working locally - just as the communication between your Hue Devices and the Bridge.

Using the same within HomeAssistant goes over the cloud service from hue (as far as I know) - so, yes - a delay can be considered as normal in this case.

However, the delay only occurs with the light switches; the Hue motion sensors respond immediately.

Has anyone found a solution yet? short_release is still delayed which makes it annoying to use.

My understanding is there is a known rate limiting issue talking to the hue hub.

It says that on the integration page

But then why “initial_press” is registered instantly? Only “short_release” has a delay.

7

My understanding is because the rate limit is the speed that two consecutive events can be delivered. So when the initial press happens that starts the timer, so the short release won’t be received until 1 second has elapsed.

Philips is aware of the issue, so calling them and complaining may help them to get motivation to fix.

The other approach is to run zigbee yourself. People do that with Hue devices - beyond my knowledge base to know how to get it working.
