You can try disconnecting (on the local Gladys side, red button at the bottom), then reconnecting? At least we’ll see if the connection with Gladys Plus works.
@pierre-gilles, nothing has changed. The disconnection was confirmed, as was the reconnection with 2FA code. Gladys updated to 4.6.0, weather module up to date… it runs in local access only.
I will test on my RPI 3 to see if it makes any difference because the display duration is really…
Ok! And on the browser side, are you using a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari in the latest version)? Maybe try clearing the browser cache (I don’t think it will help, but you never know)?
It’s possible that your Pi is taking too long to respond… Keep me updated, this is not normal, I’ve never seen this! ![]()
@tiboys For information, I did the same as you, I installed V4 to try it on an old Rpi V1 that was lying around, and I had regular disconnections from Gladys plus as the user was no longer recognized after a few hours of use.
With an Rpi v3, it’s perfect, everything is smooth and it works really well. Just in terms of boot time, it’s not the same at all.
Thanks to all the devs.
Thanks for the feedback @jparbel! I wonder if it’s due to the Pi v1 processor not having certain instructions that I use for end-to-end encryption, and which therefore uses the standard CPU to perform « heavy » encryption algorithms that are difficult to perform without a dedicated chip… (nothing certain, just speculation)
You should know that when your browser contacts your local instance via Gladys Plus, all data is end-to-end encrypted with two algorithms:
- AES-GCM 256bits to encrypt the message with a unique key generated for each message
- RSA-OAEP 2048bits to encrypt the unique key with the public key of the instance/ or the browser depending on the direction of the conversation
There is still quite a big difference in CPU between the Pi 1B (armv6) and the Pi 3B/3B+/4 (armv8):
If you can test it on a Pi 3 and let us know if it works, I’d be interested!
@pierre-gilles, confirmed just now.. already a reboot of the rpi 3 in a few seconds against several minutes for the rpi 1 as @jarbel said, but above all a possibility to access it via gladys assistant.. much more pleasant for testing.. .
I’m going to put this rpi1 back in the closet and aim for a model 3 or 4 for testing!! Thanks for the help..
Shouldn’t we drop support for the pi1 @pierre-gilles?
@VonOx Do you mean communicating that the Pi 1 is a bit underpowered or completely dropping support?
I’m not necessarily in favor of completely dropping support, however yes it would be worth adding a category in the documentation like « Hardware » and explaining that the Pi 1 is a bit old and struggles a bit, that a Pi 3-4 is rather recommended ![]()
Just the com, we continue the build but we don’t support it because it’s too light
