Loads of DNSqueries

Hello,

Can someone tell me what is causing the more per minute query to: query.yahooapis.com?
Sometimes it queries about 65000+ times a day.
Is this a security concern?

Regards.

    Same over here. Lots of DNS query's coming from my Homey. On my network today 48.000 query's of wich 30.000 are coming from my Homey (62%). Most query's go to query.yahooapis.com. I do have the Yahoo weather app installed. I will disable the app the next couple of hours to see what's happening then.

    After 3,5 hours I see now 11.000 DNS requests on my LAN of wich are 7600 from my Homey. This is still 69% of all DNS requests. Most of the requests are now for beta.alarmeringdroid.nl wich has something to do with the P2000 app ( https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.alarmeringdroid.homey ). Is will also disable this app now and see what happens.

    Quick update: Every minute a query to www.meethue.com. Should this be normal behaviour from the Hue app?

    I have the P2000 installed on my homey and made a flow that when there is a new message, I'll get a message on my iPhone. For some reason I'll get A LOT of messages today. Almost every minute the same message. I thought that maybe something was wrong with the app or that is crashed, so I restarted the alameringdroid-app, but this didn't change anything. So I disabled the flow that send me the messages.

    Same over here. It happened in the afternoon and has been solved now for as far as I can see.
