Long delay during operation

[blueJack92]

There is an enormous delay of up to several minutes when operating the light functions (on/off, dimming) in Home Assistant.

What can be done to make this happen much faster?

Here is my yaml file:

substitutions:
  name: "awox-ble-mesh-hub"
  friendly_name: "AwoX BLE mesh hub"

esphome:
  name: ${name}
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    type: esp-idf

  # Optional options

  # address_prefix: A4:C1
  # min_rssi: -90 # to prevent that the mesh tries to connect to devices that are out of range
  # max_connections: 2 # max 3 connections

  # You can give a list of mesh_ids that only should be handled by this device
  # Example when you want to setup multiple ESP modules to only control a part of the mesh) be sure to also set allowed_mac_addresses option.

  # allowed_mesh_ids:
  #   - 12345
  #   - 23456
  #   - 6758

  # You can give a list of mac_addresses that are allowed to connect to (to exclude some devices that are often offline or for the allowed_mesh_ids option)

  # allowed_mac_addresses:
  #   - A4:C1:38:8A:BA:11
  #   - A4:C1:38:65:AD:22

Ok, I think the problem was caused by the Eglo gateways. Since I have removed these, the control system works very quickly to immediately for the most part.

Sometimes there is a delay of a few seconds. Could it be that the distance to the ESP hub is too great?

Can you check the logs of the esp during your testing? Then you should be able to pinpoint a little bit better where the most delay is.
