Hi Guys,
I’m relatively new to HA. I have been a long time user of OH and I am making the switch for various Reasons.
So far my HA experience has been a blast. The functionality of the iOS App alone blew my mind.
Now there is one thing that needs clarification for me. Working with the Hue Integration lead me to a thread where it was mentioned that the lowest possible polling rate is 1Hz because that’s the precision that HA works with and Events are only fired once a second. Is this true for everything? Automations, updating of groups etc?
Let’s take an example: I am now getting push updates from my hue sensors via the HomeKit Controller Integration. Two of those Sensors are combined in a group template which does fire a light automation.
Now if everything always just happens with an update frequency of 1Hz at the start of a new second the following would be true:
Hue Motion Sensor push : 10:15:00,01 -> update of group template-> 10:15:01-> firing of Automation- 10:15:02.
This would be a huge delay. Am I completely misunderstanding something?
