multi-device state slows down shortcuts.

Cupertino, February 23, 2024

Does anyone know of a way to programmatically get the status of a series of HomeKit devices other than via shortcuts? I've found that if I call a series of shortcuts to get individual device status, macOS intentionally slows down each subsequent request. This wasn't the case a few weeks or months ago (don't know when it started) eg % shortcuts run "switch state 1" % shortcuts run "switch state 2" % shortcuts run "switch state 3" except where there is a long delay between calling them, the second shortcut may take 7 seconds instead of the usual 2, and the third usually takes 10 seconds instead of 2 seconds. I'd like someone to point to a system file somewhere where Homekit keeps the state of each device in a readable form. Anybody ?
