Philips Hue devices "lagging"?

I have probably around a dozen Philips Hue devices throughout the house, mostly Hue bulbs, and the first generation Hue bridge to bring everything in to HomeKit.

From a reliability perspective, they are rock solid. Never offline or unreachable. Over the past few months, I've been noticing my Hue devices will lag when controlled by a scene, where it will take several attempts of setting the scene to get the device to respond.

For example, several Hue devices will sometimes not obey my "lights out" scene that turns off every HomeKit controllable light in my house. The second or third tap of the scene will get it to trigger. The same behavior occurs when a scene turns a light on - I have a couple Hue bulbs in my home office (among some others) - the others will turn on right away while the Hue devices will not turn on until the second tap of the scene.

Anyone else experience this? A reboot of the Hue Bridge seems to resolve the problem temporarily. Apple Home Hub is the latest gen 4K TV running tvOS 27 (though this problem occurred even on tvOS 26).

Would the newer Hue Bridge model resolve this? Or is there another issue I'm missing? No issues with our network, 1GBPS fiber in and distributed via mesh nodes throughout the house.
