Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my recent experience optimizing my openHAB setup and my journey into the world of smart home automation. It’s been quite an adventure!
First, I noticed that my openHAB instance was occasionally spiking to 20-30% CPU usage, which I found a bit concerning. After some digging, I identified that the issue was related to the SSE (Server-Sent Events) handling in the system. It turns out that certain threads were causing higher-than-normal CPU load, particularly when dealing with event streaming. I’ve been working on optimizing these processes to ensure smoother operation, and I’d love to hear if anyone else has encountered similar issues or has tips for further optimization.
On a lighter note, I’ve been absolutely thrilled with how far my smart home setup has come. I started with just a few Hue bulbs and a Leviton appliance module, and now I’ve expanded to include everything from Z-Wave devices to Zigbee wall switches. It’s incredible how integrating these devices has transformed my daily life—whether it’s automating lights based on motion or controlling my coffee maker with voice commands.
One thing I’ve been particularly impressed with is the community support. From troubleshooting CPU spikes to finding alternative devices when my preferred options were out of stock, the forums have been an invaluable resource. I’m especially grateful to those who’ve shared their experiences and tips, making my journey much smoother.
I’d love to hear from others—what challenges have you faced in optimizing your setups, and what successes have you celebrated along the way? Let’s keep the conversation going!
Best regards,
