I have spend hours building the perfect dashboard ( did not achieve exactly what i wanted but it was good enough for me :p ), and at the end, the snappiness wasnt there.
So i went down a rabbit hole on how to speed up HA to get the snappiness that i wanted. Turns out it usually comes down to "hidden" health factors like recorder fragmentation, huge DB sizes or entity bloat ( application hygiene ). A high CPU usage doesnt seem to slow it down that much.
I have been codifying this into a project called HAGHS ( Home Assistant Global Health Score ). Its a scoring system that weights hardware metrics against application hygiene. It helped me identify some "zombie entities" that needed to be adressed and to shrink down my DB size. I can feel the difference now, automations trigger faster which i did like the most :)
Im curious of what you guys think of this? Feel free to have a look and leave any feedback for me.
Cheers, D.
