So I finally got my hubitat system setup after sitting in the box waiting for multiple hue bridge support (Thanks! ) , and I'm having some very odd response time problems with simple lighting.
I'm running all stock drivers/apps at the moment, with the following apps enabled/used:
Amazon Echo Skill
Hubitat Simple Lighting
-- 16 different rules setup under this.
-- Most rules are "When door opens, turn on lights, and then turn them off when the door shuts."
Hue Bridge Integration - 45 lights hooked up to this hub
Hue Bridge Integration - 40 lights hooked up to this hub
Life360 Connector
Sonos Integration

Here's what my RF frequency usage looks like right now...
Being the good neighbor that I am, I offered to help my neighbor setup his internet/wifi and stuck him on channel 11 at 20 mhz rather than the auto-channel 40 mhz bullshit that the ISP sets up by default.
The problem: 20-30% of the time when I open a door, the lights do not immediately turn on. The delay for the lights turning on can be anywhere from 2-13 seconds, which is just enough to be annoying.
Logs show the following when this occurs:

Example 5 - 7 seconds of latency in between the sensor telling hubitat that the door is open until hubitat realizes that the door was opened so it needs to send a command for the entry light group to turn on.

With ST hub these same rules were near-instant (<1 second) 99% of the time even though I was running a custom driver for the hue lights which forced it to run on cloud processing.
Naturally when their servers are down the rules didn't work at all, but with the local rules such as my garage entry door turning on the zigbee light switch for the non-hue garage light, the light was turning on so quickly it made me think that the light was never turned off, even though it had been.
I've done some searching on here and found a few related threads such as: Slow Lighting Response Times - but the issue here is not the zigbee mesh as the sensors are nearly immediately reporting doors being opened to the hub. After this information has been sent to the hub, it is taking far too long for it to process that input and react to a rule.
Any ideas? I'm 100% willing to help troubleshoot, I've got a Digi XU-Z11 stick as seen on FAQ: Mapping your ZigBee network with Digi's XCTU - FAQ - SmartThings Community and have a SDR device for troubleshooting possible RF interference.
Thanks!
