See how it behaves from the device detail page. If it is slow there, then it will be slow everywhere.
If OK on 1, then move to the app that is automating it. Turn on debug logging if available, open the hubitat log in a dedicated window, and then try the automation. See what the log says.
Sorry I missed one question as far as the lighting goes I am using just the simple lighting app. I have not changed anything in the simple lighting since I have switched over to HE about 6 months ago
Okay so here's some more information. I can walk into the kitchen with my mobile phone in hand looking at the live logs. I see the motion sensor has been triggered and the simple lighting app has been triggered saying turning on kitchen lights. But no lights are turned on.
Again, start with the end device, not the automation... Turn the lights on and off from the light device detail page. Do they turn on/off as expected from that page in a timely fashion?
That is a strange one as you've said you've changed nothing.
I actually rolled back to the last version of the software as I had a similar issue.
My zigbee table was smashed (*all my repeaters dropped off and weren't connecting) and everything zigbee MS related was broken for me.
One thing to try, I know you've said you've done reboots. Try and power cycle the hub once by clicking "Shutdown" instead of reboot and unplug the power cord for 30 seconds, then plug back in and try it.
Both his zigbee and his zwave are showing in the logs as working, he can manually turn them on from the devices page...
I reckon @basic261 - pause that SL rule you have, create another one with the name "test" that is identical (dont clone it) and see if that works / has a different result.
OK, so now let's figure out "What type of Z-Wave lights or switches you are using?"
Also, when you're in the Device Details page for one of the 'problem lights', does the status change instantly when you click the ON or OFF buttons? I know the light itself changes immediately... I want to know whether the status in Hubitat changes immediately or not.
Also, what driver is being used for these z-wave devices?
Thanks for the update... That definitely seems to be the correct driver for them. These are also the Z-Wave switches that caused me to upgrade to Lutron Caseta as I grew weary of their issues.
Are you running the Z-Wave Poller App? If so, try disabling it and letting your Z-Wave Mesh settle down. My experience is that it caused more issues than it solved.
