Ive recently installed 3 Jasco zwave wall switches and found that when I turn the light on and off via the switch there is a delay for the switch to actually activate/deactivate the light. Are all zwave switches this way?
I am use to a light instantly turning on by the switch.
Nope, they are instant, at least for the switches I have (two GE and 20 some odd Aeon)
What type of bulbs are connected?
Standard br30 floods. They’re fine on a standard switch. Maybe it’s the Jasco switch.
To be clear it’s only a fraction of a second. I hit the button and then I hear the relay click a fraction of a second later. With our normal switches it’s instant.
Ah, thought we were talking thousands of milliseconds here…

So this is normal?
I don’t really know what normal is. I’ve not timed these things, however with the switches I use from physical activation to relay noise/light on, it’s way less than 200ms, probably more like 50 to 100ms. This is just a wag on my part based on my personal latency annoyance threshold, which for me is about 200ms. Anything above 200 seems laggy/slow to me, under 200 pretty much goes unnoticed. The GE’s/Jascos do seem a tad slower than the Aeons though, but not annoying to me.
Yeah. I’m not annoyed by it, I’m just waiting for my wife to complain about it.
My Linear switches have a slight delay. Its a fraction of second as it activates a relay to connect the load. Less instant then a tradition switch where you are activating the load directly. My GF has never complained, and while I think the typical user might notice, it’s not a nuisance, so I’d be surprised if it created a complaint… its more the type of thing people notice when they are building a system and being sensitive to the behavior of the system.
