Problem with Zigbee network

Hello everyone. I have the following problem. Add to my hubitat 5 Sonoff Zigbee ZBMINI with neutral, therefore they work as a router.
I have the 5 glued to each other since they are inside a lighter strip.
I have a routine with a button that when I click on it, it turns on those 5 lights. The problem is that when the routine is executed, a light remains without turning on, but if I click directly on the dashboard, it turns on immediately.
I have the routing table of the devices and I see that one is connected to the same one.

Any ideas on this or open a routine option that activates the devices sequentially.

Greetings,

From a quick glance it doesn't look like you have enough repeating devices in your neighbors table with low enough in and out costs to create an effective mesh. I would consider adding additional mains-powered devices and make sure you read the following:

You might also try spacing out the commands to turn the lights on. Sometimes a zigbee network can get overloaded if you try to send too many zigbee commands in a short time. If you're using a scene to activate the lights try turning on metering.

Thanks for answering. How do I space the commands? I am convinced that it is.

If you're using a group or a scene you can disable optimization, turn on metering, and set it for something like 50ms:

Done fixed. The solution was to group the lights and put a latency in my case I put 200 milliseconds because in 50 one still did not respond to me.

Well that was easy! But do think about making your mesh more robust,

Since these are Zigbee devices, you may want to try the "Enable Zigbee Group Messaging" feature of a Hubitat Group. I would try turning off "Metering" and turning on the "Group Messaging" feature to see if that also resolves the issue. The advantage of Zigbee Group messaging is that only 1 Zigbee command is sent out, and all devices that are part of the group will receive it and turn on/off at the same time. It usually works very well!

The "Metering" feature was added primarily to help with commanding a large number of Z-Wave devices. There is no "Group Messaging" feature for the Z-Wave devices, so metering really helps out.

If I just activated this function and it is better than putting the ignition delay. I will be monitoring.
