Hello HA FAM!
As the title says I am seeing a huge amount of data being used (reported from ISP) . I use Untangle as my firewall and it is showing Home Assistant is main culprit. I have seen this in the past, which was caused by speedtest.net. I removed this a few months ago and all has been going well, until this month. Nov i used 610GB in Dec, ( 3 days) I have used over 1tb. Untangle is reporting SSL using the most within HA. I use Nabucasa remote link… can this be the cause? Any help would be appreciated.
Do you have cameras connected to HA?
What integrations are you running?
Thank you for the help, I was able to dive in more and figure it out. Like many I run to instances of HA. One is a fully deployed version and other is a sandbox to play in, test in before implementing any changes. This past weekend I was setting up a new VM on Unraid to be my new sandbox. I went to bed with the setup screen saying hassio was setting up and could take 20mins to finish. Apparently it never finished. Based on what i can tell it kept downloading the docker img for Hassio over and over again. This chewed up all of my data and was the reason for my slower than normal internet.
