Cerbo dbus-roundtrip-time issues

Hi,

Since a few days I have my ESS running with 3xMPII 1xSmartsolar and Cerbo GX. The cerbo is running VenusOS 3.41 large with Node-Red enabled which I use to read my Homewizard 3 phase energy grid meter using the dbus-mqtt-devices plugin which is read every second. The cerbo is connected still via WiFi with a signal strength of -60dBm (according to unifi) will be switched to LAN cable this week. The battery is a smart BMS communicating via CAN.

But i'm have some issue that I get multiply times a day is that the BMS communication is lost for very short period, I noticed that when that happens the grid meter also disappeared in the console and I'm getting message that real-time is disabled in HRM.

So i checked the dbus-roundtrip-time and saw that there were large spikes every 4 to 6 hours, visually there seems to be a pattern (trying to upload a picture here but getting parsing response failed).

So the questions how can I find out what is happening

That is often load on the cerbo and frequently related to modifications, 3rd party drivers, node red flows etc.

Test by disabling some and measuring the results.

Will try that, only then I cant operate my ESS because it uses that grid meter.

We’ve seen similar with shelly meters. Can you adjust the rate it reads at?

I reinstalled the dbus-mqtt-devices this morning and somehow it seems to have fixed the issue, so fingers crossed coming day to see if it stays that way.
