Profiler: Log event loop scheduled

Use this action to log what is scheduled in the event loop. This helps you track down integrations that do not stop listeners when Home Assistant stops, or that do not have sufficient locking to avoid scheduling updates before the previous update is finished.

This action requires an administrator account.

Using this action from the user interface

If you prefer building automations and scripts visually, Home Assistant walks you through this action step by step. You pick what to target, tweak a few options, and save. No YAML knowledge required.

To log the event loop schedule from an automation or a script:

1. Go to Settings > Automations & scenes.
2. Open an existing automation or script, or select Create automation > Create new automation.
3. If you’re setting up a new automation, add a trigger in the When section. Scripts don’t need a trigger. They run when something else calls them.
4. In the Then do section, select Add action.
5. Search for and select Profiler: Log event loop scheduled.
6. Select Save.

Using this action in YAML

If you work directly in YAML, or you want to know exactly what Home Assistant does under the hood, this section has the technical reference. It lists the field names you use in YAML, their types, and which ones are required.

In YAML, refer to this action as profiler.log_event_loop_scheduled. A basic example looks like this:

action: profiler.log_event_loop_scheduled

This logs what is currently scheduled in the event loop.

This action does not support targets.

Good to know

Each upcoming scheduled item is logged, similar to this example:

[homeassistant.components.profiler] Scheduled: <TimerHandle when=1528307.1818668307 async_track_point_in_utc_time.<locals>.run_action(<Job HassJobType.Coroutinefunction <bound method DataUpdateCoordinator._handle_refresh_interval of <homeassistant.components.screenlogic.ScreenlogicDataUpdateCoordinator object at 0x7f985d896d30>>>) at /usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/event.py:1175>
