Updating sensors - too many messages

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

Since the latest update I am getting in my phone and in my windows laptop too many messages “updating sensors”. I have disable most off them but still the problem remains (with small improve)
I have 2 sensors for my phone (if it is connected and if it is charging + the geolocation)
Is this a normal behavior?

On your phone go to the settings for notifications, then choose the HA app, you should see multiple channels like this:

Disable the channel “Sensor Worker”

perfect, you saved me!

I am wondering now what other choices do.
I have an automation with the following action
So if I need to have full options of notifications for my alarm I keep the channel notification with all the options and I can reduce the rest. is that right?

action:
    - service: notify.mobile_app_sm_g955f
      data:
        title: 'Προσοχή! Ενεργοποιήθηκε ο Συναγερμός σπιτιού!!'
        message: "House Alarm!"
        data:
            color: '#2DF56D'
            vibrationPattern: "1000, 500, 1000, 500, 1000, 500, 1000, 500, 1000, 500, 1000, 500, 1000, 500, 1000, 500, 1000, 500" # The pattern you wish to set for vibrations
            ledColor: "blue"
            channel: Home Assistant notify channel # name of the channel you wish to create or utilize
            importance: high

Sorry I don’t understand your question.
Disable the channels you don’t need and keep the ones you need enabled.

I test it and it works.

if you declare the channel for emergency notifications

channel: Home Assistant notify channel

then there is a choice to vibrate, have messages if the screen is off… etc
and for the other notifications just keep the default channel (so no vibration etc)
thanks
