HS3 average CPU use rises when I use BLRoombaWifi

[w.vuyk]

Bob,

I have added your plugin BLRoombaWifi to my system. Before that average CPU usage was around 10% on the 1,86 Ghz CPU. I have started the plugin, added the Roomba and had to restart it to get the devices for the Roomba.

Since then the average CPU has risen to 21%. I am here still using 3.0.0.357, which has been stable on me for quite some time now.
If I disable your plugin, the avarage CPU of HS3 goes down immediatly. It is like the plugin is checking every device change in HSEvent, not only his own? I had a similar situation in my own plugin, so that is why I am asking?

Thanks,

Wim

I just rolled back to .357 as well so I will take a look at the code and see if I can reduce the CPU usage. Do you see the CPU usage drop at all or is it constant?

I have a 128GB / Dual Xeon / SSD server that the BLRoombaWifi plugin uses around 10% as well.

Let me know if you want any troubleshooting help...

I will see what I can do
I likely do not notice it too much as I have a core i7 running HS3

No problem, I keep my system low and energy friendly... 5Watts usage only here. But then the CPU speed becomes a sensitive item. I can test also here as I am still playing with the roomba ofcourse

Although it already works nice with geolocation... starting when I am away and canceling clean when I come back.

I really got to get geolocation working at my house - it is just finding the time

Sorry, missed answering your question here. The CPU is almost constant, where 20% is minimum when the plugin is active, with some spikes, which should be normal. When I disable the plugin, CPU fluctuates between 6% and 14% plus the similar spikes.

I love it.... I use it for heater, lights, alarm and now vacuuming LOL

[MrMxyzptlk]

Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!

You just got me thinking that I'm going to slap a proximity 'button' on my Roomba...have it trigger things as it moves around the house.

...if the BLRoomba plugin ever gets fixed???

Try the newest build and let me know if CPU is better

[MrMxyzptlk]

OK, So I went to your Roomba thread on the Homeseer forum and downloaded the zip, but it turns out that was an old version.

What I had was 2.0.10.0? But now I can't find it on your website either?

What version is the newest and where do I find it?

[Blade]

It is in the HS3 updater
Version 2.0.11

Bob,

Have installed here, will let it run over night, then can tell you the result


Thanks,

Wim

I'm running HS3 x.x.x.365, and no matter how many times I update the updater and restart HS3 it still show .10 for your plugin...not .11???
