Performance issues

[lieblinger]

Sorry for this topic cuase I know that this is not related to your tools but I'm facing huge performance issues with multiple NSPanel Pro, spend hours trying to improve the setup and really hope that you have some tips for me.

What I've alread tried:

• Improved the wifi signal,
• debloated the panel,
• used HA without any custom addons and
• also tried using very simple dashboards.

Unfortunately without any luck.

Mainly I try to use FullyKiosk with Home Assistant but it's sooo slow it takes super long to load the dashboard and status updates takes about 10 seconds before a change appears. See the following video:

Is this normal or is there anything I could improve? I would be very thankful for any help!

maybe you have too many apps running in the bckgrounnd ? did you tried to debloat the apps ? https://blakadder.com/nspanel-pro-secrets/

Thanks for your help! I already checked your guide and removed unnecessary apps.

These are the apps running currently: activity.log

And these are all installed apps: packages.log

Is FKB and Home Assistant working responsive in your setup?

[bobzer]

i don't have FKB yet and i'm just testing in my desk so not much feedback but it seems much faster than yours

Hi,

I think its related to FK. I use the simple companion app, it loads about 10sec for the first time. After it is super responsive even so I use lovelance plugins. It is always on front and my app handles the sensors.

try the HA app...

Today I spend about 8 hours again getting things smooth, but I couldn't get it responsive neither with HA app, Leightweight Browser or FKB. I tested also on a clean HA instance and other regular websites. I have a couple of these panels and it's always about to be the same performance issue.

Also tried different versions of webbiew and firmware from 1.5.6 to 2.3.0 and it was always the same.

Maybe I've done something wrong by removing the Sonfoff apps and debloating it. Can't explain it otherwise myself or it's just the chipset.

There are also touch devices (4 inch, 8 inch, 11 inch and 14 inch) with RK3568 and RK3588 chipsets available. Maybe I have go down this way...

If there's anything else I could do or try just let me know. I'm thankful for any help I can get. Otherwise I think we can close this issue.

Thanks again for all your help!!!

Here is one of my device with fw1.5:

Check your home wifi my ping/down rate is about 3ms/100mbps

Check if your known_devices.yaml file is bloated. Mine was over 500,000 lines long and it absolutely killed my HA performance.

@seaky The performance in your video looks amazing. This is what I'd like to have.

@kev007 Thanks for your tip. Unfortunately there's no known_devices.yaml on my installation.

I feel like my HA enviroment could be to heavy for this device. Cause on other devices like Samsung S4 TAB and a couple of RK3588 and RK3566 devices it works seamlessly. I found a supplier which offers these panels with an RK3566 chipset. Gonna try that.

Thanks again for all your help!

Just a little update. I've got a couple of RK3566 devices and they perform a way better. But I still had huge performance issues and checked again my plugins.

After I dived deep into troubleshooting performance with my installed plugins I recognized three which slowed down performance the most...

The worst was card_mod it doesnt matter if I add via resources in lovelace or frontend in configuration.yaml and button_card. Also the kiosk_mode plugin was slowing down everything a little bit. I had to move away from it and change to browser_mod.

Also Fully Kiosk Browser is slower than HA android app.

After these improvements everything seems to work better....
