request: make switchable

[Mariusthvdb]

Please consider making this sensor switchable. Since it might weigh in on the system resources (since running the CC, processor usage hardly ever goes below 28%) it would really be nice if we could switch it on/off on demand

(in stead of taking out the CC, which is the only way of doing that now)

cheers,
Marius

The main purpose for this is to give you info about unknown connection to your instance, this should always be on, therefore I will not add an option to disable it.

But I will see if I can make it less heavy on the CPU, what hardware are you running this on?

Rpi 3B currently.

In the logs many connections to the internal IP address of my main computers are repeatedly shown.
MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.view] Serving /api/ to 172.30.32.2 (auth: True)
This might be something to exclude somehow?
btw, would you know of a way/tool to determine the source of these internal ip addresses? I have no way now to see which device has which internal Ip address. say a AppleTv or so. Only see their Ip address in the router, of format 192.168.etc. but the 172. addresses are somewhat more obscure..

This is something I have no control over, this comes from the http component.

172.30 adreses are probably your docker containers (hassio addons)
I will look into doing lookups for local adresses

@hvbhome I have made some changes that should free up some resources now #3
