Dim delay with 2 hue bulbs

The short answer is that unfortunately you probably can’t get guaranteed simultaneous execution for commands that start from SmartThings.

This is called a “popcorn effect” and some members have been working with support on this for a couple of months and not been able to resolve it.

Hue delay between bulbs?

Hi, Is anyone else seeing a delay between hue bulbs setting a level? i.e. one has almost finished turning on before the next starts to turn on… I’m using the standard Hue (Connect) and have a custom smart app running the below line of code settings.“sDimmers$i”?.setLevel(settings.“sBLevel$i”) i is a variable (1) in this instance This doesn’t go through any “each” loops or anything like that, and has been working fine until recently… The only thing I can think is that I upgraded to “Hue B Connect” 4 days ago and downgraded back to the standard Hue (Connect), I don’t think the issue was at the same time but it’s possible that I just hadn’t noticed…For a day or so… I assume when I reverted to Hue (Connect) that this was actually a newer set of code which is causing the issue I am seein…

There is a new update scheduled for tomorrow, we can always hope that might improve things, but they haven’t said anything specific about this issue.
