I’ve noticed now several times that my processor use is fluctuating between 9% and 100%.
What is strange is that it uses 100% while nothing is being executed.
Sometimes it stays up to 100% for several hours.
I already tried reinstalling cayenne that didn’t change anything.
Today I tried a new SD card 16GB class 10 but the problem is still the same.
I would like to know if more people have this problem and if there is a solution for this.
And this is the memory usage of a RPi2b that is hosting a MCP3008 with a photo cell and a TMP36 attached, it also controls 4 LED’s that occasionally get turned on and off depending on ambient temperature swings, and it talks to Cayenne-
Still having the same problem, I assume no solution has being found?
Also I added a temp sensor DS18B20 but noticed that the temp is still being displayed in Fahrenheit.
For a lot of people this does not seem to be a big problem but for the people in Europe this is.
If none of these issues are being solved then I’m not sure that using Cayenne is the best solution for me.
It’s a great program but to many bugs are left unsolved and I understand that everybody has his specifick problem that they want to see solved first but maybe you could ask the users what are the most important issues.
Sorry about this… the issue with the Processor is still in our backlog. We have a fix for the Temperature in place that will be pushed out to you next release, (hopefully today/tomorrow). You hit it spot on, there’s a lot of small, specific bugs that people are reporting. We keep track of everything reported and then evaluate what makes sense to work on first. Generally, if something is hindering use of Cayenne, or blocking a user from Cayenne functionality, then we will work on it as quickly as possible. And if something is constantly being brought up, (like the Celsius issue), then that bug will likely move to higher priority on our roadmap. This Processor issue should be fixed,or at least investigated, after this next release (so ~ 2 weeks).
The Cayenne team also has to make sure we are constantly releasing new, exciting, empowering features for the Community. In this case, we have been working hard and devoting resources on getting our new feature, Scheduling, out to you guys. The Celsius issue has actually been fixed for a while, but we aren’t releasing the Celsius fix until scheduling is also completed.
When I look at the graph from the processor use it seem to gone down and is stable at ±50%.
As long as I don’t connect to the webpage it stays stable at that level from the moment I connect it goes up again to 100%
This is the result without any connection to mydevices webpage (data from 1 month)
A fairly stable processor use.
I’m experiencing the same problem here. I installed Cayenne on a Rapsberry Pi B+ and a Raspberry Pi 3 B. The first one regularly goes to 100 % CPU usage without doing anything. Reboot doesn’t help. The second one seems to be OK. Can I do anything to lower CPU usage on my old Raspberry Pi B+? Or does this little guy simply have too little muscle strength?
Same issue here on rpi 3 B: before installing Cayenne agent load average on “top” command was 0.00 now it’s between 0.45 and 0.50 on all 3 values; in fact now I see the processor usage changing constantly between 20 and 50%. Is it possible to make the agent lighter? It is kind of a waste to use all that processor power just doing nothing.
We are making an update to the Cayenne Pi agent software this week that among other things addresses the resources consumption of the agent. Keep an eye on our Announcements category for an update when it is released, then let us know if you see better performance or not. You don’t need to do anything to update, this will happen automatically.
