for some reasons, my garage doors provide very slow response. I have webcore code that checks for change in garage doors and triggers voicemonkey. It is delays by perhaps some polling time as it occurs several minutes later and in order of operation. Thus, if the door is open and then closed. I will hear an alert of it opening and then closing but maybe 10 or 15 minutes delayed.
I also have driveway triggers that occur immediately.
Remember that the more complex your signal chain, the greater the latency in the signal chain. You are using dZ-wave (which is slower than Zigbee), you are using Hubitat, you are using webcore, you are using Alexa which works over a Internet connection with Alexa servers, and you are working with Voicemonkey which is an Alexa skill, also requiring server processing time.
If you want to speed thing up, simplify your signal chains.
Which Z-wave sensors are you using. I use Ecolink Z-wave tilt sensors on my garage doors. I have them mounted on the top panel so they respond more quickly than they would on lower panels. The sensor sends a signal to the Hubitat. Hubitat then sends a signal to an Ecolink Chime Siren that has a custom announcement that says "The garage door has been opened, the garage door has been opened". Since the signal chain involves only the sensor, the Hubitat and the chime, the announcement occurs almost immediately.
Anytime you add Alexa to the signal stream, you will add delay.
@rwclements228 we can ignore webcore and alexa at this time. The logs convey the issue I think. Maybe its the driver? btw, I have other devices that trigger voicemonkey with no issue.
