I set up a stock standard RPi 3B+ using the emonSD-30Oct18 (Stable) image.
I managed to connect to the EMONCMS server with my account and download the feeds that were there. All good.
I couldn’t see any of the inputs that should have been showing on this local version of emoncms from various ESP8266 sensor and another RPi running an old version of emoncms.
As part of my trouble shooting I noticed that the log file was showing:

It didn’t seem to matter what I did with the Sync section. I even redirected the setting to sync with a local EMONCMS, but still my RPi 3B+ appeared to be hitting the emoncms.org server 7 times a second. No additional data was being download/synced.
Actually thinking about it further, I am not sure that it is hitting the emoncms.org, it just appears to be attempting to hit a sync server.
I tried rebooting the but still my RPi 3B+ appeared to be hitting the emoncms.org.
