- Jun 07, 2021I was contacted by NG community support and was requested to participate in beta version. I did and provided fix seemed to have resolved the issue. The storage consumption is now lt 200mb.
So the higher space consumption was related to the issue in the app.
Hopefully NG support may already reached out to you.
Thanks.

How can I reduce the space? I have 1 router and 2 satelights . Have 50+ devices connected in total..
My Android phone shows (ver 2.9.6.1513)
App 159mb
User Data 45.97mb
Cache 487kb
Android Tablet shows: (ver 2.9.6.1513)
App 169mb
User Data 19.38mb
Cache 4.30mb
I would close the app, erase the User Data and Cache and then open the app and sign in.
