Hue integration less responsive

[ThePatricide]

The problem

Since the update to 2021.12.2, the Hue integration has changed. This however has lead to a lower performance in my situation. Where the Hue app still responds instantly on all requests, I see HomeAssistant seems to hang on certain requests that are made. So for example, when I turn off a light on a dashboard, the light simply stays on in the dashboard. However, in reality I do see the light turning off. If I use the switch of the card, it keeps switched to 'on'. If I look in the Hue app right after it, I see it has not changed. But I can keep on using the Hue app to change it all, however I'd of course like to use the Home Assistant app.
Before the update, the response was instantaneous. It seems like the response from Hue is sometimes dropped or something.
