Nuki Hub triggers RSSI updates too often. #89

(checked with v7)

nuki hub is constantly retrieving wifi and bluetooth signal strength.

An option to set a query interval for these values (as for battery) would be welcome.

technyon commented 1 year ago

Is this really a problem? It's updating ~3 seconds, but you have an up-to-date value like this. There's no battery drain on the lock due to this, as the ESP forwards the strength of the signals it receives anyways.

Indeed, if there is no battery drain that is probably not a problem except may be when you set DEBUG Mqtt, no matter the reason. : the log file is flooded of to many useless messages.

From what I remember, it was more like 10-20 seconds before - is this just controlled by the locks energy-saving setting, or did something change with Nuki Hub since 6.x.x? Anyway, I can see two reasons why this might be problematic:

  1. Every value change is stored in HA's database, potentially necessitating a write operation (you can mitigate this by changing recorder settings, but the tradeoff is dataloss in case of a power cut, and most people probably won't change the defaults).
  2. There's quite a bit of network traffic for something that is by definition mostly noise (fluctuations in RSSI).

Because of 2., I think it would be best if the last n values were averaged to smooth out noise, or maybe everything within in a certain time period (to get to a more regular "heartbeat")? This probably could be done on the autodiscovery/HA side, but that would not alleviate the network traffic.

I've made it configurable in Release 7.1. It defaults to disabled, so if you still want updates, you have to configure it.

Thanks a lot for this.

Thanks you !

The check didn't work properly for the opener, it's fixed in 7.2
