Refresh rate too slow - Moving to push mode

[marcolivierarsenault]

Right now the integration refresh every 30 sec, which is too slow for many people.

We will be pivoting this integration in pull mode instead of push.

Temporary solution
you can lower the refresh rate

moonraker-home-assistant/custom_components/moonraker/__init__.py

Line 29 in ca5c81f

SCAN_INTERVAL = timedelta(seconds=30)

hey @marcolivierarsenault got any timeline for this

[marcolivierarsenault]

no, tbh, no bandwidth has not progressed in months.

I have created a template switch that makes respectively an output pin from the board up or down; then, using value_template for a relevant numeric sensor I get from the board to refresh the state of the switch (this is for driving a fan)

Having 30 seconds makes the switch to temporarly revert to the older state when commuting.

Hardcoding 2 seconds solved the issue brillantly, nonetheless having this pull-based looks definitively much more elegant :)

Why not simply change/update the interval when the printer becomes active?

[marcolivierarsenault]

yeah that makes sense. with the delay to the push mode, I will likely add a parameter to pull at a higher frequence

@jamincollins I have added an option to set a different timer.

Hi @marcolivierarsenault. Is there anything I can do to help move the integration toward push mode? Have you done any work or analysis on it that I can learn from? I may be overthinking it but one of my concerns is whether we want to update all attributes in Home Assistant at the same frequency that they are pushed (although I've not done any analysis as yet on how often attributes are updated). I'm happy to have a go, although I'll warn you that I'm not a developer by trade. 😀

[marcolivierarsenault]

no sorry, no work done here.
