WTH Doesn't the System Monitor Integration Report CPU/RAM Usage in Potato Scale?

I see that the Home Assistant staff are using a new standard for CPU/RAM usage that they are not sharing with the rest of use. I don’t see why the System Monitor integration can’t be updated to report in the potato scale. If this has not yet been formalized, I would suggest referencing this chart of potato sizes:

(sort by max size for best guidance)

and use this scale:

CPU/RAM usage between 0 - 15% would report back Chiquilla Pitiquiña.
between 16 - 30% would be Calawah
between 31% - 45% would be Kinda Llumpy
between 46% - 60% would be German Butterball
between 61% - 75% would be To-Le-Ak
between 75% - 90% would be Rozette
above 90% should report Add Another Potato

I would rather have a more generic “X as Potato” helper, with a proper device_class to give the right graphic presentation.It would suport many more uses. :rofl:

Are those highly available potatoes? Potato cluster?
How many eyes can each cluster support?
Do they run better mashed? Broiled? BAKED?
Is a twice baked potato a virtual potato or a container of potato?

Man… So much research now.

Potatoes can be containerized quite well. If you want the containers integrated in Home Asssistant you obviously need a Smart container (with sufficient ventilation to prevent potatoes overheating):

I’m in the UK so, I try to use metric rather than imperial (freedom) units. As such I mesure system performance in French Fries.
