Homey HUE APP is downloading 3.5GB and uploads 220MB.
(1) HUE app is ON
(2) HUE app is OFF
(3) HUE app is ON
As of today’s statics: unchanged.
I’ve sent all debug info to the dev team, but now 2 months later and no reply I am trying it this way.
Please help us guys!
Might be related to this issue, where Homey’s networking was very unstable until the user (@Berni) began restarting the Hue app every hour (also, @Berni contacted Athom about this several times, but I’m not sure if he ever got a response).
Doesn’t seem related to me, because I restarted and updated everything. As soon as I activate the App the bandwidth usage goes up.
Hi, I did not got a response from Athom. Also restarting the App every hour did not
solve the problems that Homey is offline once or two times a day. My plan is now to deactivate the app now and monitor homey over several days. May be I need to reset Homey every three hours with the Hue App … the following is the resource situation from the last 24h with Hue activated, on 5h I do a reboot of Homey, the other times I PTP…
People please don’t get “DATA USAGE” be confused with “MEMORY / CPU USAGE”
So you see an issue with the Hue app using excessive amounts of networking resources, and @Berni is seeing an issue with Homey going offline a lot when the Hue app is running. I can think of a few reasons why those two symptoms could be related.
The CPU/RAM graphs don’t seem to suggest that the app uses a lot of either. It would be useful to know if @Berni can somehow determine that his Homey is also using a lot of networking resources.
Hi Robert, I don‘t know how to measure network usage but have switched off the Hue App now for a week with no single „Homey offline“ situation. There is a bug in the Hue App and for now I think about other integration with the Hue Gateway, may be over IFTT… will let you know my results.
I am using a router with network monitor, that’s the only way to measure a WiFi device’s traffic as far as I know of. I reset my Homey today. Still same problem unfortunately.
Homey is using [with only the Philips HUE app enabled] : 13 MB (WIFI) each 5 minutes data usage.
Just for fun I’ve also setup a raspberry with Domoticz+HUE plugin and I only get 3MB (WIFI) each 5 minutes data usage.
Today I found out that the data usage stays within the network. I don’t see it going over the WAN port.
So I’d definetely say it’s a bug in the HUE APP yes.
