(Thanks for AppDaemon, ideal for me to make complex control scenario’s)
I’ve seen topics (for AD3 or earlier) on ‘Excessive time spent in utility loop’ issues. Because I did not find an AppDaemon 4 topic, I would like to understand this :
- What is the effect of this warning?
- Will it affect my other AppDaemon automations?
- Will it affect home assistant?
- Does it restart the app?
Background info:
I use a Xiaomi infrared remote and I am sending a couple of IR codes by calling the respective service from AppDaemon. I had some issues in that (which I think I have resolved now), but when I had them I got messages like these:
