Blocking Esphome

[swifty99]

Hi,

I like this component, however there are timing issues:

[21:53:00][W][component:214]: Component esphome.coroutine took a long time for an operation (0.22 s).
[21:53:00][W][component:215]: Components should block for at most 20-30ms.

I tracked this down to the victron platform. Excluding it stops giving these warnings.

esphome version
Version: 2023.10.6

on a ESP32:

esp32:
  board: az-delivery-devkit-v4
  #board:   nodemcu-32s
  framework:
    type: arduino

when disconnectin the serial, the warnings disappear. Looking at the code this might be a problem:

  last_transmission_ = now;
  while (available()) {
    uint8_t c;
    read_byte(&c);
    if (state_ == 0) {

while available could take some time.

more information here: https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/4717

maybe reading the buffer state could help: https://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/9666/how-to-avoid-blocking-while-loop-reading-serial

I have a similar issue, when i have installed esphome 10.6 the victron component report this warning, it si strange because sometimes it works fine but for exemple today, most the time not works... I have tried to reboot but it not works

one more remark,

there is quite a bit of a timeout until available() gets false. Chatgpt recommended this approach, which seems ok:

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // or the desired baud rate
}

void loop() {
  // Your other loop activities can go here

  // Check if there are data available in the serial buffer
  if (Serial.available() > 0) {
    // Read data incrementally without blocking the loop
    while (Serial.available() > 0) {
      char c = Serial.read();
      // Process the read character as needed
      // Here, you might store the data in an array or process it in some way
    }

    // Add additional activities after reading the data here
  }

  // Your other loop activities can go here
}

This code uses Serial.available() to check if there is data available in the serial buffer. If data is available, it enters a loop to read the data incrementally without blocking the loop() function.

rebduilding the whole string will need to be done after no data is reveived for a while.
