Execution Time Exceeded Errors

General Discussion
1

One of my SmartApps is logging the exception “Execution time exceeded 20 app execution seconds” every time it runs.

I think it started on Friday, but I was made aware of it yesterday morning.

The error is happening because the command “device.events(max:50)” is taking between 80ms and 1,800ms to execute.

That means that most SmartApps that periodically check the events of more than 25 devices are probably experiencing the same timeout errors.

Do you have Hue?

No, but this is a known problem that SmartThings is looking into.

Just wanted to point out that this problem keeps getting worse every day.

It’s now taking over 4 seconds to retrieve 50 events from a device.
