High CPU usage about polybar-kdeconnect

[haideralipunjabi]

I will look into it. Meanwhile, what happens if you just use KDEConnect and not my module?

KDEConnect itself runs smoothly as far as I can see. I don't use tray icons in my polybar, so it's just running in the background without it's icon.

I still can't figure out the issue. The only thing I can recommend is removing tail=true from the module configuration. The tail=true config executes the script in an infinite loop. Without it, it should refresh every 5 seconds. You can change the refresh interval using the interval config.

Thanks, will try that. Interesting thing: I only get the High CPU usage on Ubuntu. On Arcolinux CPU usage is fine. But I get an error that it doesn't find the module org.kde.kdeconnect.device.battery. Probably an issue with kdeconnect rather than this module, though.

The couldn't find the module is a new issue due to an update to kdeconnect. I have fixed it yesterday. Use the latest code and it should work fine.

Thanks, both things suggested worked, whole script works as intended now :)
tail=false and interval=1 brings idle cpu usage back to normal.
