I’m new to Home Assistant and discovered how to create light groups recently. My home office has eight can lights that I’ve added WiZ RGB WiFi bulbs to. I created a group for each of the four rows of lights, and then created a “All Office Lights” group that includes the four row groups.
Since upgrading to 2022.2.x (currently 2022.2.3), the automations (from an Aeotec Z-Wave Minimote) with the “All Office Lights” group has been extremely slow, taking over 10 seconds to complete. If I remove the row groups from the “All Office Lights” group and replace them with the individual lights, the response is instantaneous.
Going through the trace timeline, the Z-Wave signal from the Minimote is immediately received, but then there’s an almost always 10-second delay before the light changes on the nested “All Office Lights” group activates.
Any thoughts on why the nested group would be so slow in 2022.2? Am I doing something wrong?
Here’s what I have in configuration.yaml.

- platform: group
name: Office Lights Row 1
