Is there any way to stop this from happening non stop?

I am having the exact same issue.

I have the same problem.

I have the same issue. I traced it down to a scanInterval parameter. For whatever reason, Twinkly plugin is constantly scanning for new devices. I think this should be done once at startup but there's probably a reason the developer choose to make it loop.

As a workaroud, you can increase the scanInterval to something bigger. By default it's 60 seconds (60000 ms). Bump it up to once a day (86400000ms) and that will reduce the messages significantly.

Just add it to your config.json like so:

    {
        "scanInterval": 86400000,
        "platform": "Twinkly"
    }

        "platform": "Twinkly"
    }

Sorry, I'm dumb. Where do I put that on the config?

It's under the platforms array. You should see an existing one with twinkly.
