"Component took a long time for an operation" warning on Vue Gen3 #334

I got my YAML looking nice, and everything is reading correctly, but I am now getting this warning:
[13:38:01][W][component:237]: Component emporia_vue.sensor took a long time for an operation (74 ms).
[13:38:01][W][component:238]: Components should block for at most 30 ms.

I was getting it last night when I removed the filters from all my circuits, but when I added them all back it went away.

Any thoughts? Add moving_avg to the phase ct_clamps?

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm surprised you only saw this when you removed/added new filters, and are not just seeing regardless of what you're doing.

Fundamentally, the issue is that the way the Emporia hardware/firmware is designed is not a great fit for ESPHome's architecture. Everything still works fine though, it's not so far outside the acceptable delay that it breaks things, and I think everyone's system ends up running into this warning at some point.

I would suggest not changing the way the data flows. A lot of thought has been put into it (by other people mostly): #200

p.s. I'm glad to see you figured out what IMO is the best approach for updating template sensors:
