Homey Not A Morning Person

Hey guys,
So I have a KAKU device that controls the on/off of a lamp, with a Smartwares door sensor combined to make a flow so that when the door opens -> light turns on; when the door closes -> light turns off.
Throughout out the day, this is almost instant. Open door, light turns on immediately.
However, the first time doing so every morning, it takes Homey around 4-8 seconds before it switches the light on.
After this, it works as normal.
Does Homey put the radios to sleep or something when it's not used?

Never heard of homey putting his radios to sleep, but it might be the sensor being asleep as well instead of homey.
Maybe @GeurtDijker can comment on this
How many apps did you install and how much memory is used on your Homey?
On a busy Homey I can imagine you experience a delay only in the morning.
I guess the delay comes from a busy Homey doing other things at night, that has to reload the memory parts it didn't use recently. Homey is limited in memory, and swaps the least used parts to "disk" or actually the flash storage file system.
Once regular used during the day Homey doesn't swap that part and that keeps it fast.
I guess on the same configuration replacing the 433 apps with reliable zwave sockets doesn't change mucht as it is probably memory related.
I think you can verify by disabling a couple of apps that you could mix some days, that should show Homey being fast and alert in the morning.
And yes, 433 isn't reliable in the way that the sender doesn't know if the receiver received the signal. There could be disturbance like babyfones etc. But it is cheaper and if it works for you, enjoy¡
I don't think I have an overload of apps though... I don't know what all Homey is doing at night though, probably making plans to take over the house :-D
Should not be necessary normaly but with the memory leak problem you have it would maybe fix the delays in the morning.
I can can also say that when Homey talks, he stutters sometimes, suppose that's related to this.
Doesnt nightly reboots affect the device device location presence though?
Ie, when I wake up every morning, I'm "not at home".
This is directly after a reboot.
Only problem with the nightly reboots is (as I expected) I'm "no longer home" in the morning, which means not all flows are correctly triggered.
@jorden pulled your comment from another thread, sounds like we have the same problem. Let me know if you figure out what it is. Currently I reboot Homey every morning, but even that doesn't really solve it...
Hard to identify what is causing it, you might be better off sending support an email.
The problem now is, every time I restart it, I allways get a RROD ... but generally aftger 3 resets it will work again ...
