I see the community trying to politely have an intervention with webCoRE users.
I saw @bravenel offered very constructive advice to help webCoRE users get what they want. I have not seen any blatant blame, lack of support or professional attitude toward the issue.
What I do see is what would appear to be a concerted effort to chase down issues that are effectively giving HE a bad rap in the community it does not deserve. Very frequently webCoRE is mentioned along with complaints about the hub performance.
It's not blatant blame.... its a fact. HE is a awesome hub but the 1.1.3 versions have ruined something and webcore is taking the brunt of that blame by the HE developers and that is unfair. Webcore worked perfectly in versions 1.1.2 and below and I have 2 friends that removed webcore completely and are still having issues with slow commands even with RM and slow hub.
I'm on 1.1.2 and I don't have any extreme issues with sluggish hub, RM or webcore. I tried 1.1.3 and it was so bad my hub locked up on me more then once.
We would like to look at your hub to see why your GUI is slow. We are not seeing this in any of our test hubs. Granted, we are not running webCoRE.
We aren't blaming webCoRE for anything, but we are seeing a correlation of slow hubs and hubs running webCoRE. We don't know why this is. For large systems without webCoRE, we and others are not seeing any slowdown. Is there a conclusion to be drawn? We don't know...
Send me a PM if you are willing for us to take a look...
Sure thing. I'm back on 1.1.1.119 though. And since my slowdown observation I have moved 90% of my pistons to RM. But I do still have webCoRE running a few complicated things if you want to have a gander.
So, every click in the GUI takes at least 30 seconds to register.
I am going to remove webcore now. It will take quite a few minutes to complete. If the hub magically speeds up when it's finished uninstalling, then..........
webCoRE is uninstalled now and I have deleted all the app codes. I am noticing a remarkable speedup, but is not 100% back to normal and I have a popup msg saying "Zigbee network is not online". So I'm going to reboot the hub now.
Hub is back in fully functional order without webCoRE.
Strangely as soon as I clicked "reboot hub", every single device in my house powered off - both zwave and zigbee. Finally getting to webcore and uninstalling was an exhaustive experience I guess.
I too was experiencing slow performance with the UI only, but I installed the latest hotfix this morning and I do not see an issue worth mentioning now. I'm seeing around a 3 second response time, vs the instant response I saw when clicking between "Drivers" and "Apps" in the UI as an example. If there is now some overhead from new integrations that is causing this, it's really not a big deal to me. Hub performance is fast, just as it has always been for me.
What I witnessed before was around 5-10 seconds delay depending on what I was doing. I don't have webCoRE and never have. I have only one Z-Wave device on my system right now. Wonder if a single Z-Wave device could have been the culprit. Anyway, the UI is definitely working acceptably since the last update.
Trying to determine if it was the old install hanging up on something, or if a fresh install still has the same effect.
I've added two pistons and noticing a 2-3 second delay in my RuleMachine automations. GUI access is still fine. Going to uninstall webCoRE now and see if the automations speed up.
Delay gone. In fact, there was even a slight delay while the code was sitting there uninstalled. Only after purging the hub entirely of all webcore code did it return to the usual near-instant automations.
Thank you for running this test. I experienced similar behavior a few months ago and I completely removed all webCoRE code as well. My hub has been running well ever since, except for the recent Life360 issue that was found and fixed.
I have been watching these threads very closely while I migrated all of my pistons off of webcore.
I upgraded to 1.1.3.114 before and my hub slowed to a crawl. Contacted support and they couldn't see exactly what it was. I downloaded to 1.1.2 and everything ran fine.
I just decided to remove webcore entirely from my HE and do an upgrade. The system is now running perfectly. It was very noticable before when I had WebCore installed.
