NETGEAR CPU Utilization

[kevinleequinn]

The problem

hi Home Assistant devs! I am fairly new to this and it's fantastic software.

I have a NETGEAR Orbi 970 Router and the HA integration isn't getting CPU utilization correctly. since I setup the integration it's been reporting 100% utilization. I didn't worry about it and it's certainly not a big deal. I wouldn't have even bothered reporting...

but this past weekend I rebooted my router and utilization went to zero and then climbed up to 100% after ten minutes or so. I did it again to confirm and sure enough, the CPU Utilization sensor is getting data but it is not ingesting correctly.

maybe I can fix by setting a graph card differently? or maybe it needs to be addressed at the sensor level.
