I seem to be getting more notifications than I expected, and I think it's due to auto-discovery.

Is there a way to essentially "freeze" the network after setting up all your notifications, and disable auto-discovery all together?

Also, what is the difference between removing and disabling a service in the device settings?

Thanks

See this page, you can check if any scans are running, and disable auto-scan:
