i have a “problem” or maybe it is normal, but i dont know yet.
The point ist my (Paulman) Zigbee spots need 1s to turn on/off atfer pushing the light button.
I have connected them via the SMLIGHT SLZB-06 with POE connection.
They are integrated with Z2M and the 6 spots are grouped within Z2M.
The “automation” is if a push the button (which is connected to a Shelly Pro1PM input), than switch the light state of the Z2M group.
Is it just normal for zigbee, that i takes a second?
Can i somehow accelerate this?
Wifey complains about the second…
She is used to a fast reaction. Before we had the spots switched by the Shelly Pro1PM Output on/off, but for sure you can not reach them while switched off.
You might get a slightly quicker response with dumb spotlights and a Zigbee wall switch, or possibly with Zigbee battery-powered button bound directly to the lights, but to be honest I think it would hardly be noticeable.
Not really, if my lights would take a second to react to anything I’d be screaming.
@schlotzi there are two things you need to check: how long it takes for a button press to reach HA, and how long it takes for the message from HA to reach z2m.
For the first, I typically use creating a log entry:
action: system_log.write
data:
level: error
message: 'This is a log message'
Create an automation just like the one you’re already using, only log something instead of switching lights.
Then ask your wife to switch the Shelly while you’re watching the logfile and see how long it takes between switching the Shelly and the log entry appearing.
Oh. Thought their might be a possibility to set the identical time for everthing (devices, HA, Z2M, etc.) and catch and compare timestemps from the shelly.
But yes, this will work for a first test.
kind regards
@schlotzi I don’t recognise this behaviour.
I have a button+ switch, connected to a homey, connected via mqtt to mosquito (in docker), connected via mqtt to home assistant (in docker), connected via mqtt to zigbee2mqtt (in docker) connected via LAN to SMLIGHT SLZB-06 with POE, transmitting to a zigbee plug switching a couple of lights.
This reacts instantaneous (almost to fast for me, thinking of adding a fading effect)
I had some issues with my old routers (zbmini) and I have updated recently with zbminir2, this new version of router improve the range, time and reliability of the signal.
