Hi all, so I'm always running the latest updates for HS3Pro and using the SmartStick+ USB. The server is located right in the middle of the home and almost all (33 out of 36 devices) connect to the SmartStick+ directly (no hops).
The issue has always been that HS3 lags like 60% of the time. So when I open a door, sometimes the speaker will say "door open" immediately... but most of the time it will lag and not say it for maybe 10-20 seconds. Sometimes it will even build up commands and all do them at once, example... open door 1, then door 2 then door 3... then when door 3 opens it will say Door 3 open, door 1 open, door 2 open. You get the idea.
I originally had my setup on a standard desktop running Windows 10 Pro with all my other apps... and I thought this was the cause of the lag issue. But about 3 months ago I added a fully blown Server with Windows Server 2016 on it. I installed HS3Pro and recreated the entire setup from scratch because my original setup was not that heavily involved, but the lag continues. It is bare bones software in the server right now, nothing else installed until i figure out what the HS lag issue is. Nothing going to "sleep" on the server that i can find, all power management to the USB is off... I have no idea what is causing this lag.
All of the devices in the system are Zwave+, except 1 that I just added so that didnt make a difference.
I do not have any add-ons to HS3Pro, just the SmartStick+
When I go into the log, there are no issues... the time and events keep rolling and when the event or device works, it will then log and continue on like it's normal. I also thought maybe there were not enough devices for the Mesh network to have the proper speed? So I added 20 more from my original set, but it didnt do anything either.
Even when entering the app and trying to turn on a light, 60% of the time it will either not do it, or it will lag then eventually do it.
Is Windows just the problem here? I was thinking of changing over to Linux which I don't know to much about... but would rather stick with Windows... or am I better off just getting a HomeTroller Zee S2 to control everything? I removed devices and nothing changed so I know it's not a Zwave Device problem... only thing I can't test is if it's just Windows in general causing this.
Thanks all!
