Nathan,
I am using an unused Hue bulb as a trigger to open my Yale lock using Siri but 10 seconds was too long so I set

Code: Select all

      goLightsRefresh       = True
      loopsForLightsRefresh = 20     # At least 10 sec delay,!!!!!!! was 100 changed  to 20!!!!!!!!

Is this going to cause problems, it seems to be Ok at present but just checking.

Hey.

That should be fine on newer (square) Hue bridges and with medium to small numbers of Hue devices. I set it to 10 seconds to avoid slowing down older Hue hubs with nearly the maximum number (50) of devices. Frequent full light lists on those bridges could slow them down or cause them to start rate limiting the plugin.

Note that the Hue bridge itself doesn’t update light device states instantly, so even though the plugin may be updating every 2 seconds, the bridge may itself take a few seconds to include changes to a light in the report it gives to the Hue Lights plugin.

I have the new square hub and 20 lights so I should be fine.

Thanks for the quick response as usual, and thanks for a solid, reliable, gold plated plugin and support.

You can add "Siri enabled Yale Z-Wave lock facility" as another feature
