webgui slow response socket.io

---

Hi folks,

I have a problem after updating to pimatic 0.9 (clean install). I used pimatic 0.7 before and it worked like a charm.
Unfortunatelly the webinterface (mobile-frontend 0.9.11) is very slow to respond and every switching action is delayed.

I guess somebody might know immediately what the problem is, but i couldn’t find any solution so far in the forum nor anywhere else.

The problem:
If I reconnect to webgui (no matter if phone or pc, no matter if LAN, WLAN or WAN) or if i reload the page in chrome nothing happens for up to 15 seconds. Just the old values are displayed. I can not switch anything in this time. After 15 seconds all values are updated and keep updating like normal.

But whenever I turn a switch on or off it takes 5 seconds for the light to react. I did not experience any of this with the old pimatic version 0.7.

I attached a screenshot of the chrome loading process (after hitting F5) which shows socket.io to be not responding for quite a while.

It would be great if somebody could give me a hint where to look for the problem…

Cheers

still using the same hardware as on the pimatic 0.7 installation, maybe a raspi version 1?
this is way too slow actually. you should consider to upgrade to raspi3 then.

Indeed that could be the problem. Thank you very much, i did not know pimatic needs so much more resources in the new version.

Well, I think it is due to higher RAM requirements not CPU speed.
I have a setup on an Raspberry B+ with 512MB which works fine for me. The A / A+ / B+ models have the same CPU version and run at the same speed. I just thought this might be worth mentioning as the B+ has a lower power consumption than Raspi 2 / and Raspi 3. An even better alternative might be the Raspi Zero if power requirements is a concern.
