Intermittent program execution delays

@Michel Kohanim, but why would three network calls with a 1 second timeout introduce delays of up to 30-40 seconds? That's the part that I found unintuitive.

Although most of my delays are under a minute like you said, I have had a few really weird ones where a few minutes later the program just randomly seems to run where the status was updated instantaneously.  I think it’s related though.

@Michel KohanimSo I'm just wondering, in IoP are the network resources going to stay "inline" or will you change it to how the ISY performed?

Pretty sure that was intentionally done to fix the problem of variable or node values changing before the actually fired.

I was redirected over here from a different thread... I see at least 1 second delays on mosty of my programs, and am wondering if that's just the way it is, or there's something to make things more responsive.  I've seen programs seem to take a second, or a few seconds to turn a device on or off.

I attach a log that showed a 1-second lag compared to a scene, for a motion sensor program.  Looking at it I don't think there's a comm error in there that stops it from working, to me it just looks like a slow program.

What is the reasonable expectation for program execution or response speed?

@webminster since your other post "sent" you here and this thread is inactive for over a month, I would suggest you open a support ticket to get specific help.

As @Michel Kohanim posted above there was some sort of bug, but the forums aren't a place to track bug progression. I would suggest opening a ticket and describe what your issue is and submit your log there (I think it needs to be in .zip form though and not .txt).

If it is "still" a bug then having a ticket in the system may allow UD to track the resolution better. 

Submit a Ticket:       https://www.universal-devices.com/my-tickets
Email:                           support@universal-devices.com

Good luck!  Please post back to your original thread when you get this resolved (what helped resolve the issue). Since it would be specific to your issue.

I had one this week where the delay was like 30 seconds.   

I have created a ticket a while back but it closed due to inactivity.  So I have no update to post.

All, the issue is that, previously, network resources were queued. In Polisy, they're inline. So, if you have any sort of network issues and network resources, that's the first thing you should take a look at.

With kind regards,
Michel

@webminster, any other programs that do network calls can cause problems with programs that have nothing to do with the network in my experience. Suggest disabling all network programs and seeing if problems go away and then selectively enabling network programs one by one if they do until you find the problem.

@webminster, do you have any green/gray 1011 icons in your device tree?

With kind regards,
Michel

I know your speaking to someone else but I have no green icons (the need to write data ones) in my tree.  The delay for me is not only programs but standard insteon Motion Sensors (Gen 1) sense motion and it may be a minute later they turn on.  And some programs take a while to trigger.  This has been an issue for a while.  Learned to live with it.

The Insteon network is even worse for bogging down. If you have a bad comm every device will echo all the retries.

Insteon is a slow comm in the first place.

I have noticeable delay issues with control of lights and ceiling fans via Harmony Remote control - pressing a home control button on the remote causes the hub to signal the Hue Emulator node server which turns on a scene, which turns on a virtual button (Virtual NS) which triggers program execution - sometimes the button presses get backed up and take a minute+ to respond - in my case, no network resources are being used

Because of the limited # of home control buttons on the Harmony Companion remote, I use one to increment a state variable which is used to control lighting scenes.  Pressing the button cycles the state variable, in the case of my bedroom, through states 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0... - each has different combinations of overhead lights and lamps on, off, or dimmed.  So, often times I will press the button multiple times (with a good 1-2s pause between presses) to get to the desired lighting state.  When press the button more than 1X, there are frequently long delays between pushing the button and an observable change in lighting state.  My previous post lays out the node servers being used.

Mine has nothing to do with node servers.  Or at least not using one. 

For example I have a button to turn off all lights in the house that is program based.  I hit the button and waited about 10 seconds and nothing happened.   I hit it again and repeated a few times.   Gave up and went to turn off lights and then about a minute later they started turning off.

I wanted the kitchen light on so I turned it back off about a minute or so later it turned off.  I realized the programs were spooled and it was getting to each one.  So I had to wait it out before I could have the light on.  I know thats my fault for hitting the button multiple times but the first one should not have taken a minute to start.
