[hue] Color channel updates take much longer than bridge pollingInterval

[ramon18]

Expected Behavior

When using another app to control the bulbs color, openhab2 should sense the change almost instantaneous (as it does for brightness and color_temperature).

Current Behavior

Openhab2 takes a lot to trigger the change event,

Steps to Reproduce (for Bugs)

I'm using the bulb Philips LCT015 Extended Color (0210) Set the pollingInterval=1 (just to be sure)

1. Open a console with tailf events.log
2. Open "All 4 hue" app, open the bulb and choose change color
3. tailf events.log takes a long time to report the change [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent]

Your Environment

Centros 7 Openhab 2.4.0

events.log takes a long time to report the change

Can you quantify "a long time" and did you try changing the pollingInterval bridge configuration parameter? The default polling interval is set to every 10 seconds. The configuration can be updated so it polls every second. See also the Hue Binding documentation.

I see you already tried decreasing the polling interval. :wink:

[ramon18]

Yes I tested all different configurations I’m aware of. Regarding the delay of the log update, it can’t be the case here, because I can see other updates (form other rules).

@ramon18 : was your problem finally solved by appropriate settings ? If you want faster update of light status, you can increase the light refresh interval which is by default run every 10 seconds. If you are not using hue sensors, take care of the sensor refresh interval which by default requests the bridge twice per second. With 2.5.6, you can disable it by setting to 0; before 2.5.6, you can increase its value to a very big value.
