Blocking I/O inside the event loop

[chezpaul]

I get these all the time in my HA Log:

AI tells me this:
Blocking I/O inside the event loop (govee)

• Severity/Logger: WARNING — homeassistant.util.loop
• Occurrences: Several
• Example: “Detected blocking call to load_verify_locations … inside the event loop by custom integration ‘govee’ … and integration ‘triggercmd’”
• Importance: 7/10
• Why: Blocking inside the event loop can stall HA responsiveness and startup; needs attention soon.
• Suggested fix: Update those integrations to versions that use proper async I/O; if custom, file an issue upstream; temporarily disable if causing slowdowns.
