Hi,
I’m using homehabit 1.4 (4781)
When camera widgets are added, data usage is extremely high even if the current homehabit page does not have any camera widgets.
For example, I have 4 camera widgets on page-3 being refreshed every 5 seconds.
However, even if I’m on page-1 (no camera widgets), data usage still shows 5-10MB/s
Thanks for the great app!
@mikeoz All data is kept up to date on all pages of currently selected dashboard to avoid any delays when switching between pages.
There might be a possibility to reduce refresh rate for non-current pages, which should improve data usage, but it would still need to refresh at some interval.
Thanks @igor.
It would be great if we could reduce the refresh for non-current pages. At the moment the clock screensaver is on and the Access Points are reporting a 60Mbps download.
(pls try it yourself with 2-3 camera widgets and netspeed indicator and you’ll see what I mean)
Cheers.
What is the resolution on your camera images?
5-10MB/s for 5 seconds refresh for 4 cameras would make it 10MB per frame or so.
I’m only using the sub-stream so the resolution is D1 (704 x 480)
The bitrate is only at 1200 (kbps)
Not sure why it’s using so much data.
