Fibaro motionsensor light automation latency

Looking for some insight from the pros on here!

What is expected latency/delay for a motion sensor being triggered to the light turning on?
It takes roughly 2-3 seconds with my current setup which I feel is too long. But is this to be considered normal? Is it dependent on the actual sensor itself?

Regardless if I trigger the motion sensor or run the automation manually, the delay is the same.

However, if I trigger the light without the automation it turns on/off instantly. And the automation for turning off the light (after 5mins without motion) also works instantly.

Since it is instantenous in turning off, it feels like it should be the same for turning on. Tried troubleshooting (healing node, removing and adding as insecure etc) without any difference.

The components in my system:

Motion sensor: Fibaro FGMS001
Light: Fibaro Dimmer 2
Z-wave sw: zwavejs2mqtt
Z-wave controller: Aeotec Z-stick 7
HomeAssistant installed on NUC with SSD (shouldn’t be limiting factor).

The motion sensor is just a couple of feet from the controller so the distance shouldn’t be a problem either.

Would appreciate any input either if this is expected or what I could do to fix it!
