Shelly Response Time


Recommended Posts

What is the response time when using a keypad to turn a light on/off that is connected to the Control4 system via a Shelly 2pm?

Keypad press sends signal to EA5 via Zigbee

EA5 sends command to Shelly via WiFi

The latency for the shelly should be low (with Chowmain driver) and not really noticeable in practice unless you have a bad wifi network, overloaded controller or possibly lots of interference on Zigbee.

We always recommend Pro/Plus (Gen 2)  or Gen3 modules if possible if you're purchasing them, as the protocol is more scalable and is far better (we don't need to test every device anymore, and just implement by capability)

Also, we're pushing a new version tomorrow with some enhancements to button links tomorrow (for Gen1 modules) which may affect this case.

 

In addition, a lot of memory / performance optimisation work has gone into recent releases (which will be mostly noticeable on slower controllers, or certain networks), so we recommend everyone ensures they're using the latest version. Particularly if you have a lot of shelly devices. Also, obviously, there's been a lot of feature improvements recently :)

 

All of our drivers have a 90 day trial though. You can use to test with
