Object tree - instances (UI instances)

[AhzurdanGit]

Under lovelace.0.instances the system keeps creating generic folders with objects activity, blackout underneath.
I am not when it is doing it but it keeps creating those. After a while it has over 400k objects in there which slows down the whole IOB drastically.
Solution is to copy the raw configuration out of the UI, stop adapter, delete all folders, start adapter and paste RAW config back in the UI.

Versions:

• Adapter version: latest
• JS-Controller version: 20.17.0
• Node version: 10.8.2
• Operating system: ubuntu

This happens when a new browser connects (or an old browser deletes all locally stored data and therefore a new id is generated). FullyBrowser can do this, for example. Deselect the option to delete all data. Other browsers might do this as well, depending on privacy settings (the ID is stored in the local storage of the browser).

But I'll try to implement something to clean those instances up, yes.

Gotcha. Makes sense. Where would I disable that? Also using fullybrowser on one of my tablets.

Thanks.. Changing that helps somewhat for sure. I dont see a benefit (for me at least) to have those entries... Guess for interim i will schedule something to just delete the folder on a recurring basis. Really awesome how quick iob now (again) is after i deleted 400k entries ;-)
