Just to confirm it must be specific hardware related, I see nothing special on a x386 miniPC running Haos
I also have the same issue, I run HAOS on a hyper-v machine on an Intel CPU.
Recently there was an update of HAOS as well.
I could imagine that it would help the developers if you
- mention the Hardware
- the HAOS version
- the upgrade path.
Not only here in the forum but as well in the related Github issue:
Just read through this and it looks like the issue has been found and a fix will be in 2025.9.3 for it so I will wait for that. I have manually updated Accuweather following instructions from the devs so I have everything working again for me.
FYI looks like it’s bluetooth related and the issue may have been found. The dev is testing at the moment but an emergency patch (2025.9.3) will likely come ASAP.
Sooo Skip it. Roger.
Skipping.
They gonna pull it(prob should if it’s a Cpu infinite loop.) It kills a significant amount of perf. 1/x cores and most cheap n100s have 4
2025.9.3 is out with a confirmed fix. Please check for updates and update.
Confirm it fixed the CPU usage issue for me. Back to normal < 5% average.
2025.9.2 and even 2025.9.3 Has Broken Some HomeKit Devices. Had to roll back to 2025.9.1
Warning:
I had to roll back the 2025.9.2 back to 2025.9.1 due to the fact that the HomeKit integration stopped working. Restarting the system did not help. Unfortunately I lost two hours of events and history.
I updated from 2025.9.1 → 2025.9.3 so I missed all the fun ![]()
CPU usage is normal in container.
Have I missed something, or has the behavior of light groups changed in 2025.9.x ? With 2025.8 I could have a group with the members shown in detail on the bottom of the control, even when the members were hidden from the dashboard. This is no longer the case with 2025.9.3, only if the members are also visible (maybe with 2025.9.1 as well - I’ve only just noticed it now).
Also broken Panasonic Viera now (2025.9.3) and Custom integration Entity_tz

Not sure it is connected to the 9.2/9.3-update but I use a magic-mirror-integration that gets sensor data via a long-lived access-token. That doesn’t seem to work anymore for me. (it says “error fetching stats”)
Looking back through my CPU usage history I’d say the general average has gone up about 15~20% on an i7 NUC since installing HA 2025.9.x (currently on 2025.9.3) vs 2025.8.x.
Confirmed 2025.9.3 has resolved the processor utilisation issue for me, HA Yellow with CM4 ![]()
2025.9.3 has restored normal utilisation level on my system. HA Yellow with CM4.
Please add a feature to make a reversed slider
