Hi,I have 6 LB100 bulbs installed at home. I recently noticed that the bulbs are making DNS requests for an A record, which does not exist. The name that is being requested is aps1-api.tplinkra.com. Requests were coming at a rate of roughly 1 per second. After adding a static DNS record, pointing to a system on my LAN, I then did a tcpdump from that station to try to see if any traffic was being generated. but did not see any traffic.Has anyone else seen this?Geoff.

Yes! But I don't have bulbs, I have 4 smart plugs. As with you, I'm getting about 1 per second, or 300,000 per day according to OpenDNS. However, if I log all of the port 53 traffic on the modem, I see nothing (although the Netgear modem firewall page is buggy, so who knows).
