After KNX Integration the harddisk memory goes to 1%

“Since I installed the KNX integration, the hard disk space has been filling up. Without doing much with Home Assistant, I have expanded from 35GB to 90GB in three steps within 4 weeks and now receive the message that only 1% is free. I have a large KNX installation with 7 lines. It seems that HA is saving all telegrams, even though I only use 4 KNX addresses. What can I do to prevent this? Is there a way to identify what is filling up the storage?”

Hi :wave:!
The KNX integration, by default, stores 1000 telegrams as json. That should be about ~0,4 MB. You can inspect that at config/.storage/knx/.

Hi Matthis,

thx for your help.

The two files in the directory together take up 6MB of storage, so that doesn’t seem to be my problem. I have also checked and deleted backups before. How can I find the cause? The Companion App is also no longer stable. It seems the app is reading some data, as it takes up to 5 minutes before the app becomes usable again!

The largest file in .storage is 2.5MB for the core.entity_registry. However, I found the file home-assistant_v2.db with a size of 74.7GB. I am a beginner and have 2 automations running.

This is not filled by the Knx integration directly, but afaik by HAs state machine, event bus, history etc.
Maybe have a look at Recorder - Home Assistant eg. purge_keep_days.
Or look at the logbook Open your Home Assistant instance and show your logbook panel.
or even at the logs Open your Home Assistant instance and show your Home Assistant logs.
to see if there are some extensive changes going on.
