The problem
The other day, someone war drove my unifi wifi. 26K unique mac addresses attempted to connect within minutes.
While this in and of it's self was disconcerting, the following day home assistant was crashing in all flavors of chrome and the companion app. When loading the companion app, phones would become physically hot.
After wasting tons of time debugging frontend components, thinking it was the front end, I accidentally clicked the devices tab and noticed that there was 26K new devices, each with 3+ entities each, corresponding to the macs from the wifi attack.
Apparently this is enough devices + entities to kill the HA frontend. I'm assuming it downloads a JSON blob of all the device/entities as a local cache or something considering the JSHeap went front 120+MB to 20ish MB after i deleted the unifi integration.
Anywho, i'm not sure if this counts as a backend bug, frontend bug, configuration bug, documentation bug, or what....but seemed like something I should least post about.
