Greetings, fellow smart home enthusiasts! I’m reaching out to share an intriguing challenge I’ve encountered in my smart home journey and to seek insights from the community.
Over the past month, I’ve noticed intermittent delays in my local automations. These delays have been particularly noticeable with motion lighting, simple automations, and rules managed through the Rule Machine, especially when integrating with Lutron devices. The setup involves a C7 hub running platform version 2.4.3.133, paired with Zigbee motion and contact sensors, and all Caseta switches and dimmers. Both the C7 and Lutron hubs are hardwired into the same network switch, so I’m confident the network connectivity isn’t the issue.
The delays vary—sometimes it’s instantaneous, other times there’s a short lag, and occasionally it can stretch to 10-15 seconds. This inconsistency is puzzling. I’ve managed to capture some logs that illustrate the interaction between a motion sensor, the Motion Lighting app, and a Lutron switch, showing an 8-second delay from trigger to light activation. I’d be grateful if anyone could shed light on potential causes or troubleshooting steps.
Additionally, I’ve noticed an unusual layout issue in the Motion Lighting app on the desktop version, where the motion sensor selection isn’t rendering correctly. The mobile version works fine, so it seems to be a desktop-specific glitch. I’m curious if others are experiencing similar issues or have found workarounds.
This challenge has been a fascinating puzzle to unravel, and I’m eager to learn from the collective wisdom of this community. Any insights, experiences, or suggestions would be invaluable! Let’s collaborate to optimize our smart home setups further.
Warm regards,
