I recently bought a tuya bulb + PIR sensor to test if this would be a cheap solution for automatic light switches. Turns out it is not, as far as I figured so far, the delay is noticable (3-5s) and this does not bring any convience, even worse, I am annoyed every time now when I walk into the room
This could be due to the tuya integration, which is communicating with china, but I think it is also related to the sensor itself. Turning on the bulb for example in HA or the tuya App works fine in under a second.
I tried local tuya, but it shows an error, but nothing I can fix I assume.
Unexpected exception: [Errno 113] Connect call failed ('192.168.178.62', 6668)

However, is there a known motion sensor that works as quick as for example ikeas integration? I read that Zigbee is quicker than W-LAN, so I suppose that is a technical advantage.
Maybe a Aqara P1 ? I plan to remove all bulbs with a Shelly 1P / PM in the future. I do not need different light brightness or colour in my bathroom for exmaple. Saving a few bucks on the bulb will make the transition to shelly cheaper.
