Terrible performance on seemingly most android tablets

All i’m trying to say is that broadcasting all entity updates to all devices regardless of what they’re interested in is poor design/architecture. It’s the equivalent of sending all chat DM messages between all users on a chat platform to every single user on the entire platform and just having their frontends filter out just the DMs meant for them. In my analogy, your advice is the equivalent of telling people on the chat platform to chat less frequently or for the platform to shed some users rather than calling for a fix to the platform to implement some kind of pub/sub architecture that gets only the desired messages delivered to/from the correct users. Do you see why it makes me believe your recommendation is unreasonable or a joke?

Anyhow, I’m sure that as home assistant use continues to grow and people’s smart homes continue to get larger and have more devices that more and more people will have this same issue I have. I’m sure then the issue will get more interest/traction maybe eventually leading to a fix. Unfortunately I don’t currently have enough bandwidth in my life to assist with a fix myself; however, I do believe that acknowledging that there is a problem (i.e. documentation or an issue ticket) is the first step toward a potential fix or improvement rather than just telling users to use less sensors or have them update less frequently when they’re already updating at the default/reasonable rate.

I suggest you look over the recent frontend changes before continuing your tirade.

So is there a solution to this issue?

I switched to Home Assistant (from SmartThings) about a year ago. Initially I had one Samsung wall tablet and it worked great. I’ve since added more and the latest is a 14" Chinese tablet bought off Amazon, but brand new. The new tablet (only a week in service) routinely takes an hour or more to update device statuses.

Since our home is a large footprint ranch, many devices, especially door locks, are distant. Knowing their status and being able to lock them and confidently knowing they are locked is a big part of the reason we have wall tablets. My wife is now resorting to pulling out her phone because the tablet cannot be trusted. :man_facepalming:

Help! :slightly_smiling_face:

Buy better gear?

That is not a specification…
