What is the maximum number of connected devices that the integration supports?

robyertof commented 2 years ago

It seems there’s a maximum number of devices connected, in my case 10. Based on what I’ve found online it’s a firmware limitation (raspberry pi3+)

mattlongman commented 2 years ago

@robyertof - thanks for the info. Yes, I imagine it's not a particularly high number, especially with the onboard interface.

Anton-Le commented 1 year ago

The limitation is a hardware-side problem. The host in general (spec. RPI 4) is sufficiently potent to sustain quite a few more than 10 and the integration itself just utilises common Linux network tools - which are generally lightweight.

@mattlongman It might be a good idea to collect the limits for RPI, Odroid and other hosts in this issue and include a notice in the documentation of the project.
