Severe load issue

Hi all,

I am running a C-7 with 2.3.5.103 and I am getting Severe load warmings since few days. I have looked at the logs and I can see that apps (rule 5.1) that are causing the issue. Strangely enough, these rules are just pretty basic things. The checker-rules just check if temp in a room is below the setpoint, and if so set a variable to 1 and flip a switch to open a section of the underfloor heating. Then there is a boiler rule that periodically checks to see if there is a heat request (by checking the variable of each room) and if one of them is 1 it turns on the boiler.

Nothing crazy, I would think.... but when I look at the logs that rules for some reason consume an disproportional amount of resouces. The devices involved have been running for months but the rules have recently changed a bit (from the state change trigger to periodic check trigger).

I have some screenshots for you to look at.

All drivers are up-to-date and I am using a mostly Z-Wave based setup (some Philips Hue Zigbee 3 stuff).

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to fix this issue?

Okay, so I tried a soft-reset and now I am in even more trouble... It did not recover from the soft-reset and is now totally dead apparently. The green led is lighting up but I cannot find the hub anywhere on my netwerk. Even with range scanning, mac scanning, etc, I cannot find it at all.... Anyone any suggestions that could work, or am I up s***-creek without a paddle?

Ip address probably changed. Look in your router lan details for the hub mac address.

There is also the small network reset button in one of the holes in the bottom of the hub.

As for your original issue. It is conceivable if you have a temp sensor that is having connectivity issues snd spamming your mesh with tons of temp reports each firing off your rule(s) that you would see the effects you describe. Logging on the rules/sensors in question or would help confirm.

Press the network reset button on the bottom of the hub for 7 seconds with a toothpick or paperclip (it is the only round hole out of all the square ones)

Once the green light comes back up, goto to http://hubitat.local

also make sure you have reserved an ip address via dhcp reservaton in your router

It was setup for fixed IP... but since it is not requesting a DHCP lease, acknowledging a ping or even broadcasting it's exsistence on the network and more, having a reservation really does not matter anymore. :frowning:

it does matter because if you do the reset button.. it will revert to dhcp (the default) so have it configured

It is not even requesting a DHCP lease at all... I can do MAC scanning and sniffing on my network, it is not there anymore :frowning: Not on the old IP, not on a new lease...

Correct me if i am wrong guys, but i tought getting a green light ment the hub was starting, but the Hubitat software wasn't fully loaded. Can you get to the Diagnostic page for the hub? That is at HTTP://hub-ip:8081

try a soft reset from there

Anything starting with 169.254. ?

Green means that the UI has loaded
Blue not loaded

maybe check the ethernet connection. Validate you have a link light on your switch/router from related to the port the hub is plugged into. If you don't try replacing the cable.

There is no IP address to reach... It's just dead apparently. (2 years and 2,5 weeks old. Want to guess what the standard warranty overhere is??? LOL)

Nope, no autoconfig addresses either.

This + reboot button. Maybe reboot the router, too. There's usually some warning (hub losing connection intermittently) if Ethernet port fails.

reset-button

Link LEDs are based on electrical connectivity, My switch reports it is physically there, but sees no packet traffic. LEDs on the Hub side are off (except the green one on the front panel)

Doing the hard reset via the button on the bottom now... Forget about that option. Fingers crossed!

ok try replacing the cable, or at the least remove then and then reinsert them. Is the Hub directly connected to your router/device that does dhcp?

I am not connected to the router. I have a fairly non-standard complex network with a fully managed layer 3 network switch and using multiple vLans.

Already replaced the cable and tried a different port on the switch. DHCP is coming from a different device but I already validated it to be working properly (DHCP relay is working on 3 other vLans and on this port on the switch also when checking with a laptop).

Nope, no joy.. still dead without any signs of life on the network. :frowning:
