[App_rpt-users] RPi 3 controller problem

[Steve Agee]

I'm wondering about the load Allmon2 is placing on the system. I know it 
is more efficient than the original Allmon, but I've never entertained 
the idea that the Pi3 could handle that much at once. Is anyone else 
running Allmon2 on their Pi?
