Domoticz

Hello,

I have an issue with a lua script I created to switch my living room lights on & off. Here's the situation:



The script to determine the previous state and switch the lamp goes as follows:
The problem is that the script works as expected but there is a delay of about 3-4 seconds between the switch and the lamp turning on/off. Is this a known issue with 433 mhz devices?

No, 3-4 seconds is way too long.
I have similar setups and usually it takes < 1 second for the sequence [switch -> Lua -> light].
One area that can influence the delay is other event scripts. Because the domoticz event system is single threaded it can only execute one script at a time. So if this event (the switch) or another just before that triggers one or more scripts, this script "has to stand in line" and wait until the others are finished.

In the logging I can see domoticz respond immediately (within the same second) and send the switch command. The delay only occurs when I use the physical switch. If I test it for example by switching "$Living zitgedeelte V1" the lamp immediately switches.

What do you see in the log when you use the physical switch ?
I log to /var/log/domoticz.log and can follow it real time using tail -f. When I use a physical switch I immediate see this in the log. (hard to time exact but certainly much less than 0.5 second)

I wil check the logs when I get home. In the meantime: I found that the switches I use (KAKU AWMT-003) have a burst delay. Could this be the problem?

Could well be. When timing the delay between switching and entry in the log that will become clear.

Just out of curiosity, why do you have 2 RFXcom's and how do you configure one to receive and one to send?

Learn the devices on both rfxcom And use is similar way.
I use multiple RF-Link and RFXCom, due to coverage for every floor.
