This is a bit embarassing. I read through the thread and saw several mentions of an "Examiner" child. Where do I find that child?

So just discovered that the hub watchdog is the top cosumer of time on my hub, with the new tools in 2.2.5. Anyone else seeing this? Is this normal? [image]

Seeing this is running over and over and over to test the speed of your hub. I would expect it to be at the top.

I have mine set to run every hour. Is that what you would recommend?
