Help needed because automations don't get finished with multiple light groups

[danieldevos90]

I created an automation see below which will not be completed because of errors. Can you guys help me to find the problem? The lights are via conbee 2 (philips hue) but during the automation not all the lights will change. The end of the automation is never be runned

@danieldevos90

The lights are via conbee 2 (philips hue) but during the automation not all the lights will change. The end of the automation is never be runned

The problem appears to be due to a failure difficulties in the deConz integration and/or the Conbee2 device.

pydeconz.errors.BridgeBusy: 901 /lights/11/state/on Internal error, 951

Someone else reported the same problem last February so maybe the following discussion can be helpful:

deCONZ - Official thread

Anyone experiencing performance/stability issues with latest HA/deconz? Symptoms that I’m facing since ~2 weeks, so I’m not sure if this is related to HA/OS/deconz, as all updates come more-less the same time: especially for deconz group lights turnigng/off/toggling fails with some error message displayed at the bottom of web interface ‘Failed service… somethig’ (never captured whole message, appears randomly and quite fast). Associated light do not react to comand send from webUI. automation…

For me the solution was to enable in deconz the Source Routing. Apparently when the stick controls the traffic on its own, in larger networks this type of issues can arise. I enabled Source Routing (so the routing is controlled by app) and all these problems dissapeared:

You can experiment with Maximum hops and Minimum LQI parameters, but I think 5 and 150 respectively are good starting point to stabilize situation.
