I upgraded from Lite to Edge. Since then, my zwave motion sensors are delayed in response (5 to 10 seconds). I have an Ecolink PIR and an Everspring SP103 motion sensor . Are there parameters that I can update to improve response time? I updated polling frequency multiple times. I tried increasing polling to 2 seconds as well as 30 mins. they were working very good ( max 2 seconds response) when I was on UI5 Vera Lite. Help.
Hmmm. Delay in motion sensing… This sure is a popular subject. Here are a few thoughts;
- Disable ERGY; it is rumored to slow down your Vera
- Make sure your Vera is high up or has an external antenna. Routing your motion sensors through a “repeater” might slow things down
- I had to replace my Veralite with a Vera3 to get reasonable response times; YMMV with an Edge
- I disabled the other three sensors in my 4-in-1s. I tried every motion sensor made; none are “perfect”
Definitely a popular topic. I’ve read a lot of the posts. But I haven’t seen any posts that are Vera Edge UI7 specific.
- I don’t have the ERGY plugin enabled. It’s not even installed.
- I installed an external antenna on my Edge and it’s located on the top floor.
- from a specs perspective, I believe that the Edge has equivalent memory as Break, which seems to be the most important factor
- the Ecolink one seems to be better than my Everspring one, but still noticeably slow.
I was hoping that there were parameters that could be adjusted
