Delay when triggering virtual output command

Dear Sir/Madam,

Is there a way to configure how quickly virtual output commands are sent? I couldn’t find anything in the settings.

I have a virtual output that sends a https GET command to an external server. This is all working as intended except there is a delay of around 5-7 seconds each time. I would really need this to be less than a second to work for my use case.

First I thought the remove server was perhaps slow, but if I send the https command from my web browser (on the same network as my Loxone server) the remote server responds virtually instantly, so I’ve concluded it’s taking a long time for my loxone server to send the command for some reason.

Is this expected or is something perhaps misconfigured?

Best wishes,

Stig Petersen

For the curious observer, I found a workarond for this:

I noticed in the Debug Information (Loxone Monitor) that the CPU usage maxed out at 100% when trying to make the https connection to the remote server. It takes the Loxone miniserver around 5 seconds to do the crypto part of the secure message.

So my workaround was to just use http for now – without the need to generate crypto keys – and now it’s pretty much instant.

Cheers,

Stig

Hi Stig,

For other members of the community, it would be good to know, are you currently on a Miniserver Gen.1 or Gen.2?

I would imagine it is a Gen.1, and if so, depending on the authentication level (SSL, TLS1/1.2 etc…) it could add a high overhead to the processor.

Hi Hugh, I’m not sure which one I’m on. How can I identify it? Also, do you have details on the Gen 1 and Gen 2 processor speeds?

I did notice that under normal load the CPU sits at 60%-65% utilisation so for most things it’s sufficient, but I would consider an upgrade if I’m on Gen 1.

Best wishes, Stig

Hi Stig, The Gen.1 will have screw connectors for power and link, while the Gen.2 will have push in connectors like those found on a Tree device.

The Miniserver Gen.1 has a 400Mhz processor and 64MB Ram

The Miniserver Gen.2 overall has a 21x increase of power compared to the Gen.1

I can't say if upgrading will speed up the processing of your HTTPS commands, however it is a fairly process intensive protocol.
