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.
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.
