Delay in turning on lights

Configuration
1

Hello all

During the last month i had several issues with my home server environment.
I have HAOS running as a vm on proxmox. (all updated)

I have aeotec multisensors 6 that controls shelly lights.
In the past motion was detected light turn on within a slit second (perfect).

Since rebuilding my zwave and my shelly environment i have issues. (maybe the heat is causing ghost to appear in my environment LOL)

Now the motion sensors work and the lights work.
However when motion is now detected the light turn on after 4 - 6 seconds. (Not good)

I do not see any settings in the multisensor of the light that could cause this
Please help guide me on how to trouble shoot
Thank you for your help

Thank you so much Nick for your prompt reply. This is part of what makes HA great.

In my node red flow I had both selected the device and the entity for the light to be turned on.

I removed the entity and left the device name in place and I increased the level of luminosity high enough to cause the flow to activate an all seem to be back in excellent working order

once again thank you for your help

Hello Nick for the most part all is working fine.

However once in a while the symptom described above still reappear for no reason.

once i need this automation again it works fine (without doing anything)

How can i diagnose this issues? (the logs do not say anything constructive)

Thank you

Sorry, I have no experience with node red.

Are you using gen 1 Shellies?

Hello all

Thank you for the quick response

Yes most of my lights are gen 1 and have their firmware updated

Again thank you

You said this, do you mean you reset your Shellies? If yes, have you checked your Shelly settings according to the link I posted?

@rodak

Yes i did resbuild my zwave solution and i did re-set all the shelly lights at that time.

The CoIoT peer is enabled and mcast is selected

Thank you for your help

So you don’t have it configured as recommended. You should try …

Then try unicast as suggested.
Type ip of your Home Assistant server and the port (5683).
I have some gen 1 lights and they respond instantly with those settings:

1000024124
10000241241344×1662 65 KB

Also make sure that your lights actually can reach the server/port in your firewall.
Prior activating unicast I had similar delays as you are describing.

Thank you folks for your recommendations.

I have amended it to read my HAOS IP:8123 and rebooted all the lights

See how it will perform tonight

Thank you all again for your help and patience

Still wrong, will not work, please use the correct port 5683 and reboot the lights again.

14

Hard to have patience with someone who has been repeatedly referred to docs, but doesn’t read them.

15

Sorry folks

I have a problem to read because of my mental issues. I do not do it out of laziness.

Once again sorry

16

No worries, did you update the settings to the correct port?

17

hi folks

yes i did. i changrd the ports to 5683 as mentionned and all is workin well thank you.

BTW it was also working with the ha port 8123 maybe this was just luck.

thank you once againfor understanding.

you all be well now
