I currently have a home network with nearly 100 devices and run a custom built home automation platform (IE: lots of traffic). I recently have noticed that my few Wyze devices are sending an extraordinary amount of DNS queries. Wyze is sending DNS queries every minute (sometimes multiple times a min…
