I run a pihole instance on a dedicated Pi, and ive noticed that Hassio (on a different Pi) is making thousands of queries to api.macvendors.com.
It seems to be making this call every 10 secs, every hour of every day. This is best case, quite often it ramps up to once every 3 - 5 seconds!
Is it normal?
I have done some digging and as far as i can see none of the integrations etc. i am using would need this.
Does HA core itself use it? And is it really neccessary to query it every 10 seconds, none stop?
Or can anyone give eny tips on trying to find the guilty party (ideally without having to disable everything, and re-enable one by one and so on)
