Looks good! Is anyone else getting this during the update?

Looking at the query log, I see a fairly large amount of requests 24/7 by my Xiaomi robot vacuum and my Xiaomi desk LED Desk Lamp. I've blocked both of them. Is there any way of disabling the wifi on the desk light completely? Right now i've connected the lamp to my Wifi and blocked it at the router to prevent it from starting its own WiFi network.


I’m not familiar with the desk lamp, but take a look at Valetudo for your vacuum.

That hosts server was shut down. They don’t maintain a blocklist anymore and removed it from the internet.
