Collect and execute similar operations together rather than performing them individually to reduce overhead and improve performance. This applies to entity creation, API calls, and state updates.
Key optimization strategies:
async_add_entities()
call instead of multiple callsasync_update_listeners()
when state is already updated locally, or async_request_refresh()
for buffered updates instead of immediate full refreshesExample of batching entity creation:
# Instead of multiple calls:
if param_sensors:
async_add_entities(param_sensors)
if status_sensors:
async_add_entities(status_sensors)
if alarm_sensors:
async_add_entities(alarm_sensors)
# Collect all entities and add at once:
all_entities = []
all_entities.extend(param_sensors)
all_entities.extend(status_sensors)
all_entities.extend(alarm_sensors)
if all_entities:
async_add_entities(all_entities)
This approach reduces function call overhead, improves code clarity, and can significantly improve performance when dealing with large numbers of operations.
