Core: HA Hue motion sensor slow compared to Hue app

[Mobrockers]

The problem

I recently migrated from using the motion sensor in the hue app to in HA with node-red to better customize the scenes that turn on when motion is detected, but I notice that it takes significantly (seconds) longer for the lights to turn on. Now I understand that going through HA and node-red first might add some processing time, but multiple seconds seems a bit long to me. Can it be that HA is slow to pick up the motion detected signal from the hue hub? Any way to speed this up?

Environment

Hue hub v2,
Hue indoor motion sensor

Latest HA + node-red integration

• Integration causing this issue: Hue

Hey there @balloob, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with an integration (hue) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

This is a problem with how Hue exposes their local API. They only allow us to check every 5 seconds for updates instead of letting us know when motion has been detected.
