Motion Sensor Light Activation Latency

I appreciate all of the really helpful information guys. I’m going to give the Smart Lighting app a test to start off with, although I’m not sure the Hue light is running local. I’m using the Zigbee Hue White device handler with it. Is there a way to tell?

That particular device handler will not run locally, you can see the list that will at the topic previously linked to. But you should be able to find a generic zigbee dimmer DTH that will work for the test, probably the GE link. The only DTH is that will run locally at the present time are some of the ones that are officially published. No custom DTHs run locally.

FAQ: CONFIRMED: Local Processing - Working Device Handlers

Here is a list of the Device Handlers that are confirmed working with local processing (I personally tested that these show up in the “LocalDevice List”) as of Dec 8, 2017: Device Type Run Locally Execute Commands Locally Minimum HubCore Version Aeon Home Energy Meter TRUE FALSE n/a Aeon Illuminator Module TRUE FALSE n/a Aeon Key Fob TRUE FALSE n/a Aeon Minimote TRUE FALSE n/a Aeon Multisensor TRUE FALSE n/a Aeon Multisensor Gen5 TRUE FALSE n/a Aeon Outlet TRUE FALSE n/a Aeon Siren TRUE FALSE n/a Arrival Sensor TRUE FALSE n/a CentraLite Thermostat TRUE FALSE n/a Dimmer Switch TRUE FALSE n/a Fortrezz Water Valve TRUE FALSE n/a GE Link Bulb …

You just need an on/off for the test. Then you can change it back to the other DTH. You’re just trying to isolate what factors are playing into the latency, and then once you know, you can decide what, if anything, you want to do about it.
