2 Second Latency on Colour C-Touch

Slight delay on C-touch buttons.
Load is triggered instantly from both C-touch and input devices but Homegate has roughly a 2 second delay before displaying that the given lighting load is on.
Tested on Pc using PICED and network enabled through CNI and everything runs smoothly.

Any Ideas?

 

The most common cause is that the processor is very busy, probably drawing graphics. The log file allows you to observe the processor usage (see help file for details). If the processor usage is much over about 25%, it will get a little "sluggish" in its responses.

Check that you don't have large stretched bitmaps or large amounts of alpha blending. These both use a lot of processor.

 

Alpha blends

Hi,
I've found this a few times when using alpha blends. The larger the object with the blend, the slower it gets. I used to use them as 'containers', to enclose groups of controls. Much better to put them in the background image.
