how to slow the polling of the sensor?

[gazzaman2k]

is there any way to stop it updating every 2 seconds and set it to scan like once every 10seconds? its too frequent and will soon fill up my databases

but great work got it running on a victron mppt 250/70 and esp32-s

Hi , use function of esphome !! Add

udate_interval: 10s

to sensor 😉

This isn't correct. The component doesn't use the pollig_component_schema / isn't polling the device. The victron device pushs a new message every two seconds. You should use a filter to throttle the publishing of the measurements. You could also use a filter to calculate a median: https://esphome.io/components/sensor/index.html

@gazzaman2k Off-topic: Do you own the smart version (bluetooth) or the standard version of the mppt 250/70?

[gazzaman2k]

its the smart version with bluetooth

Hi, all data counts/calculate victron, median is in my opinion useless, or am I wrong?

@syssi ,Hi is it possible to contact you outside of github? discord or telegram for example?

[gazzaman2k]

i used

filters:
  - median:
      send_every: 10

Working great thanks, having it update every 2 seconds you could see the mppt calculating its maximum tracking points and causes it to spike on the graph as its doing its adjustment

thanks for the help guys and great work :) i might try the bmv version out too to take it off the solpiplog raspberry pi

bmv and smartshunt is supported https://github.com/KinDR007/VictronSmartShunt-ESPHOME

The median should be used for selected entities only. Most of the time throttling should be the way to go.
