Yesterday I installed the version v3.4.0. This morning I noticed in the Homey app the Homey average load (last 1, 5, 15 minutes) was unusually high. So I looked into Insights and found out, that last night around 3 a.m. Homey’s average load increased extremely. Then I looked at the behavior of all apps in Insights and found that HCS shows comparable activity:
At 3 a.m. I was not working on the Homey, no “unusual” flows were running and no firmware or app was updated. The automatic updates are all disabled.
Homey Pro (Early 2019)
Firmware 8.1.3
HCS v3.4.0
Have any of you noticed similar behavior?

After an HCS app restart:
– Homey’s average load remains consistently high
– HCS CPU usage decreased
– HCS memory usage increased (from about 37 MB to 51 MB)
Next step: I will deactivate the HCS App, restart Homey and observe the mentioned parameter.
Edit 2 (26.03.2023)
After disabling HCS and restart of Homey:
– Homey’s average load remains consistently high
– HCS CPU usage no change
– HCS memory usage still at 51 MB
Why is CPU usage and memory usage unchanged after disabling the app and a homey restart? 
Next step: I deleted the HCS app.

After deleting the HCS app and a following Homey reboot (PTP) I couldn’t notice any change in the average load.
@Peter_Kawa, the only apps I use from the HCS are App Version Checker and UnZ-Cure. And I’ve been using these apps for a very long time and haven’t had any problems so far.
