HA logs growing quickly with Owl intuition warnings

[CarlNightingale]

Hi, Please see the attached log screenshots. This seemed to start after I updated to the latest patch a few days ago. Is the anyway to prevent the warnings being written to the logs or to change the parameters to reduce the number of records please?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,
Missed this earlier, sorry. For the Impossible energy consumption measure errors, I'll have a look as it seems coming from the sensor - and it may well be that things changed in HA.

For the other warnings, they come from HA core and are due to the fact that this integration gets updates synchronously (and "slowly", OWL sends an update every 30-60 seconds). Some years ago I attempted to go async but that made HA totally unstable, I was likely not doing the right thing and/or the async support in HA was not yet mature enough. I never tried again afterwards and can't promise anything at this stage. Of course I'd be happy to review a contribution in a PR for this feature.

You may also want to look at your logger configuration, perhaps changing your default level to error and then specifying higher log levels for components and services you're troubleshooting.

Will this solve the long startup procedure? I had a look at it but honestly I dont understand what I have to do...

This might solve it, yes, but it requires a major refactoring of the code and a developer-level understanding of async loops.

I may have time to review a PR on this, but can't commit myself to such task for now.

hey @glpatcern grazie mille. ;) then I will wait. I had to uninstalled it as every reboot is taking so long and I dont know how I can get rid of the owl-startup message. I only use it for my triphase owl sensor...

[glpatcern]

Prego ;) the comment above suggests to change the log level, for the startup time I also use it for the triphase and I find it acceptable (the rest of HA normally runs), then of course it's your choice
