Agreed, but if Hubitat is going to allow all these devices then we as users need guidelines around what to expect.
Some examples:
- Devices can generate events only x/min, etc.
- Hub can process x/second events maximum
- Rule performance/complexity metrics
- Typical processing times for Hubitat provided apps (simple lighting, button controller)
Staff has said that the Hub CPU/Memory is not the constraint, but the amount of traffic from the networks. Traffic Rate
So clearly, there are SOME constraints the system is up against, we need to know what these are so we don't push them beyond an unknown limit, and then just complain. Our users (wife/family/guests) just want us to take it all out if it doesn't work on-time, every-time!
Yet there are no simple guidelines us users can refer to to know if what we are doing in our network is good/bad. All we see is things slow down, random events get missed, which is after a lot of work has been put in setting up our systems.
Suggestions to "buy more repeaters" or "use these devices, they worked for me!" don't help us who are frustrated trying to get existing equipment to work. We are flying blind, and throwing more money at a problem only works for so long.
We need tools/methods to monitor our systems, to know when we are hitting limits, having network problems, etc. That will go a long way to help us fix them properly.
