Smart lighting + Hue - delaybetween lights when turning on

hey guys i’m using the smart lighting app to have a motion sensor turn on 2 hue led strips. the problem i’m facing is it does not turn on the lights at the same time, there is a delay between when the led strips get powered on and it just looks bad Anyway to have the lights turn on in sync?

See the existing discussion thread (this is a clickable link). this problem was first reported five months ago, but has not yet been fixed:

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…
