I lost the internet for a few minutes this morning. I noticed there was a long delay when trying to edit a rule. Then I tried editing different app and they all took between 20 to 25 seconds to open. When the internet came back, I retried editing the same apps and they all opened instantly. Other pages were not affected.
Hmmm.. There are likely others here (i.e. Network Engineers) plus the platform dev's who can diagnose this more accurately than me... Could it be a DNS routing issue... an app issue of some kind... I don't know...
What App were you trying to edit? Some community apps get a little fancy with html and sometimes point to internet locations, like GitHub, to load icons and other content.
Built-in Hubitat apps do not do this. However, I have seen custom community apps and drivers do this which would cause delays when the Internet is not available.
It can because it's trying to go to the initial DNS before searching mDNS. To test this, simply disconnect your internet at the router (pull the wan cable) then using a PC go to the actual IP address of your hub.
