question on optimizing groups

[snellejellep]

Hi all,

i have a group which controls 8 philips hue spot lights using zigbee2mqtt and the plugin.
now i have the following issue(s):
- the lights do not turn on all at once, they turn on one after the other and it takes about 3 seconds for them all to turn on. using the hue bridge they all turned on at once which makes this a strange thing because i would assume that they all would be activated at once using a group in domoticz.
- sometimes not all of the lights turn on or off using the group. occasionally the group forgets one which is really frustrating because then none of my scripts work since the group state is then mixed and i use the on/off states. also one light will not turn on or will stay on for no reason.

any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

i am using V4.11506

I have a group which controls 8 philips hue spot lights using zigbee2mqtt and the plugin....

Did some tests with 9 Phillips Hue lights on V4.11533 (dzVents 2.5.1)

• domoticz Group 0.7 seconds
• domoticz Scene 0.6 seconds
• dzVents script 0.2 seconds

Measured times are from the domoticz log because I have no tools to measure the time on the lights themselves.
Would be interresting to see the same type of data with zigbee2mqtt.

test script below.

Code: Select all

--[[
        group on /off 0.7 seconds
        scene on / off 0.6 seconds
        dzVents on / Off 0.2 seconds
]]--

return 
{
    on =
    {  
        devices = { 'hueTrigger' },
    },
    
    logging = { level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG },
    
    execute = function(dz, item)
         _G.logMarker =  _G.moduleLabel
        local myGroup = {
                            'Hue slaapkamer',
                            'Kantoor hanglamp',
                            'LM46 staand rechts',
                            'LM46 tafel links',
                            'LM46 tafel rechts',
                            'LM46 staand links',
                            'LM46 lightstrip',
                            'HueGo',
                            'staande kantoorlamp',
                        }
                        
        for _, deviceName in ipairs(myGroup) do
            if item.active then dz.devices(deviceName).switchOff()
            else dz.devices(deviceName).switchOn() end     
        end    
    end     
}

my log shows this:

2019-11-27 16:21:30.645 Activating Scene/Group Device: Tuinkamer spot 8 (On)

so that is a second of delay which is not much so it seems to be in the communication between domoticz and zigbee2mqtt where the slow down occurs?

Could be, I don't have zigbee2mqtt and don't know if you can switch on debug log there ?

yes, zigbee2mqtt has a debug mode, when all goes well i get this:
