I have version 1.8.0-144 of the official Android App, and am running Home Assistant v. 0.106.2, and I happened to check the logbook and noticed that my location is being updated very frequently, sometimes twice a minute, without physically moving. I don’t see this same behavior coming from my wife’s IOS version of the app. I can only assume this flood of data will rapidly bloat my database. Is anyone else experiencing this? Am I missing a setting somewhere, or, is something wrong?
Edit: I can also correlate that the app is using a lot of background data, 269MB between Feb 23 & Mar. 2nd.
This is what I am experiencing as well; same issue. As indicated above, it seems there is a bug that hopefully will be fixed soon. In the meantime, if you don’t want it in your log, you can remove it using the instructions found on the recorder page: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/recorder/
Two Androids with lastest HA release and mobile app are spamming our Installation like crazy. Definitely a bug. We really need the ability to set a background time to use. I don’t care for the randomness that it uses on the background updates.
and none of those custom cards were updated properly? you may want to consider moving to a custom card that gets updated frequently to avoid this from happening.
Yep all abandoned or depreciated (tiles-card and toggle-lock-entity-row). I do plan on updating but the replacements are a lot more complicated (button-card and restriction-card) and I have used the old cards extensively. It’s going to take a long time, something I am very short of at the moment. I’m also 3000km from home. So there’s that complication too.
