Hi Everyone! I’ve been using a Raspberry Pi 3B with a touchscreen as a frontend for a couple of years now. It’s always been a bit on the slow end, but I was using it for a very simple dashboard in my bathroom to show how much hot water is left (useful when you’re in the shower with a head full of shampoo!). Since a couple of months I have had issues displaying this dashboard (it uses a few of the gauge controls). A suggestion on FB was to simplify and remove any custom components (I was using the layout-card component from HACS). So I did… And made a dashboard with just an entity, nothing special at all. Still won’t load. Basically the system is stuck on the picture I attached below:
After some time it times out with the “oops, cannot load this page” screen, offering the option to reload.
What I have done so far to debug this:
- Switched to an uber-simple dashboard with just one entity display.
- Cleared cache, reverted to default settings, cleared cookies, etc. on the Chromium browser on the Pi.
- sudo apt-get update & upgrade on the Pi
- Tried another Pi 3B (same issue)
None of these affected this behavior. None of my other systems showing dashboards (PCs) have this issue, although some of them do occasionally have an out of memory issue and require a reload.
Anyone have any thoughts? Mind you that this has been working fine for years and since the upgrade to 2023.5 (maybe 4) it stopped behaving. I’m on 2023.6.2 now – still the same issue. Haven’t upgraded to .3 yet, but don’t see anything in the release notes that indicate this is being addressed.
