Total Connect door sensor faster sampling

I want to turn on my garage lights when my garage door is opened. I’m using the Total Connect door sensor as the trigger but it takes a good 15 seconds for the sensor to trigger the lights. Is there a way to speed up the sampling of the garage door sensor? TIA

Is it local or cloud based? Does it have a local option with a network connection that can possibly have power saving or “eco mode” turned “off”? How is the data from the sensor routed into HA? Understanding that flow will allow you to determine where the latency would lie…

Thanks for taking the time to respond… I’m pretty sure it’s cloud based. The integration says “Requires Internet”. I’m probably going to bite the bullet and get me a RATGDO… I assume with that unit, it should be near instant notification and I’ll finally be able to integrate my garage door without having to use MyQ manually.

Thanks again!
