Sensors are basically long running I/O polling tasks. In some cases they are sleep-based tasks. Both lands perfectly on asyncio: instead of spawning full features OS process which runs a sensor, you need just a single process which spawns coroutines instead and takes care about them. This will reduce resource consumption a lot when you run hundreds sensors. And no need to dance with retries and timeouts, workers starvation wouldn't be a problem as well. -- ,,,^..^,,,
