Keypads lagging

[OldGreg]

Ah. Was hoping there was a log or something. I see the signals coming in from the keypads immediately to the controller when I press them (used the Chowmain Event Logger driver).  
 

So now, it seems like it could be any of:

 

a. the controller is failing to process the outbound signal to the panelized relays/dimmers. 

b. an Ethernet issue getting to the relay/dimmer from the controller through a firewall/switch and on to the dimmers/relays

Since the signal is received immediately in a button key press event logger, that doesn’t seem to be an Ethernet buss issue, does it?

My thought logic: The bus carries the signal, and it’s logged immediately, so it’s not the bus, but rather it’s whatever is being done with that signal either by the controller to become a command to the relays/dimmer, or by the network to transfer that signal to the relay/dimmer. It’s sporadic and affects multiple dimmers/relays so it’s not a faulty relay/dimmer. That’s my reasoning anyway. Anyone see flaw in my logic or have suggestions on to troubleshoot from here?

For anyone reading - turns out I had plugged a rogue airport express that was still configured as a router a couple weeks back on my network. I was planning to use it for an airplay2 streamer, but hadn’t turned off the routing configuration for it yet. Doh! Unplugged it and everything came back to normal.

Nice that you updated, and lesson learned for many.
