Delayed Home Assistant Startup

[dshokouhi]

I went to restart HA today after updating to 0.77.2 and got this error in the log. I noticed that HA was delayed startup until this error showed up.

2018-08-31 09:37:43 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.entity] Updating state for media_player.xbox_den (<class 'custom_components.media_player.xboxone.XboxOneDevice'>) took 0.511 seconds. Please report platform to the developers at https://goo.gl/Nvioub

Yeah. I've noticed some slowness in startup as well. I'll look into it eventually, but don't really have the time now.

I've never seen this warning on a raspberry pi but I might have an idea what happens:

• In Home Assistant it triggers the setup_platform function
• In the component it will check the versions by calling the /versions endpoint. (Which adds the delay)

This warning is happening when properties are fetched from the entity. Properties should never do I/O. Data should be fetched inside the update method.

Thanks @balloob. I will look into it.

fixed in 1.1.0
