My Hifiberry is on Wifi. Pretty stable but maybe the 2sec interval ist too low?

@dgomes merged your changes. Do you have any comments on interval? I think if the Pi has been on for a while then RAM fills and it is slower to respond but I'm worried about increasing interval as then it will always be quite laggy if more than 2s.

[dgomes]

I also faced the same dilemma while preparing my PR, in the end I stayed with 2s since that was the value you had been using for sometime.

I think Hifiberry folks need a new API, probably based on web sockets that can feed us the updates, instead of us relying on polling the device.

For the time being I think 2 seconds is a compromisse between having updated information and not stressing the network/RPi.

Thanks for this great add-on @willholdoway! One minor issue however (that probably is a setting somewhere): my log gets filled with DEBUG level messages from pyhifiberry.audiocontrol2. This seems to be the only add-on that is really chatty. 😄 Any chance to lower the log level for Hifiberry?

Hi @jacobwod,
you could add

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    pyhifiberry.audiocontrol2: info

to your configuration.yaml

I asked the hifiberry guys if the are interested in a websocket API. Would you (@willholdoway @dgomes ) be interested in case hifiberry accept my PR?

[willholdoway]

Yes!

[dgomes]

that would be great!

Hi @willholdoway I released pyhifiberry with the socketio-api. You should bump the version to 0.0.4 for the PR to work.

[schnabel]

Hi @willholdoway, I wanted to test the integration today and unfortunately found out, that we have a serious problem :-(. With this PR they forced python-socketio to versions < 5.0. We require version > 5. I think we should start a new issue on this.
