Hitting api.thingm.com constantly #164

Hello,

Upgraded to latest version, and I'm not sure if it's a new change or what- but my DNS app (Pi-Hole) is reporting nonstop lookups of the thingm domain. I don't have any IFTTT things configured in the app and just use it for manually turning the light on and off. Is there any way to stop the network traffic to this endpoint? I don't think it needs to talk to anything online for my purposes. Thanks.

Hi, Yes, if you go into your blink1control2-config.json file (the path is shown in the About window), there is a section called iftttService with a property enabled that is set to true. Change that to false and when you start up Blink1Control2 it will no longer check api.thingm.com.
