    Hello,
    What does the speed of a Zigbee network depend on? I know it's quite a slow network for stability, but mine is quality strangely slow. Namely, when I control from my phone, the speed is ok, but when I use the remote controls connected to Zigbee, the first signal goes instantly, while subsequent commands are executed with a 2-3 second delay. Is this normal? This happens mainly with 4 channel remotes like this example:

    Is it possible to eliminate these delays, or is this simply the charm of these remote controls?

    The remote control is ZigBee, and the controlled devices too?

    yes, both under zigbee, I don't remember what version of zigbee I have in the cans (if that can make a difference), router definitely 3.0.

    I have such a remote control (ZigBee) and when I control the relays (ZigBee turning on the light) the delay is constant following your description. The first and subsequent commands are transmitted with the same delay - I'd have to measure, but estimates under a second....
    Gateway 3.0, but Tuya system.

    Do you have the gateway software up to date? Maybe reboot it?

    @micello What does your ZigBee network look like? What distances are the devices from the gateway? Maybe it contacts the gateway via other ZigBee devices?

    In general, some of the networks certainly work "in series" because there is no chance that they all reach the gateway's signal. However, this example I gave concerns relays that communicate directly with the gate because the gate is at a distance of 3m, as is the remote control.

    I see in the description that each button has 3 functions

    - is there a wait time for the 2nd click in the remote control options?
    - does the remote control not perform a scene with delays?

    @micello Can you move the gateway as close to the devices as possible for testing purposes? Maybe there are walls in the way?
    I use four such remotes (in the sense of looking identical, costing the same, only white :-) ) and no problems.

    The double clicks must be quite fast like in a computer mouse, but I also took this into account. When checking the latency I used single clicks on different channels

    I'll check because it may indeed be a problem with the gateway, although as I understand it in theory, the most important thing with such a network is that the gateway should be at least within range of one powered relay, the rest of the signal should duplicate between the relays which act as a repeater.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the performance of a Zigbee network, particularly focusing on the delays experienced when using 4-channel remote controls, such as the TUYA KT series. Users report that while the initial command from the remote is executed quickly, subsequent commands face a delay of 2-3 seconds. Factors influencing this delay include the Zigbee version, the distance between devices and the gateway, and potential interference from walls or other devices. Suggestions for troubleshooting include ensuring the gateway software is up to date, repositioning the gateway closer to the devices, and checking for any settings related to click response times on the remote. The importance of having at least one powered relay within range of the gateway for optimal network performance is also emphasized.
