Hi. I’m struggling to find the source of the issue or learning where to look.
I’m running HA on a virtual machine on a Synology NAS. It was running fine for over a year and recently (around maybe 2 months) this started happening: Every time I edit an automation and hit save, the dashboard freezes and stops updating or reloading data, and after a while I get a message saying that HA is starting etc…
HA is running fine and automations are running with no hiccups, it’s just that HA starts acting up when I want to change automations or play with the integrations etc… Here’s the log before the restart happened just now. I couldn’t find a clue for the culprit in the log.
I just reproduced the issue by editing one of the automations, and the moment I clicked save, the HA server stopped responding. Sometimes it restarts, and in other occasions it just stops loading for 1 minute.
Not op, but I have been experiencing the same issue for several months. I noticed the comment about Watchman and decided to disable it since both op and I had this integration in common. Sure enough, Home Assistant no longer hangs when saving automations. I’ll give Spook a try and see if that works better.
