HI, yes just change "update_interval: xx" for the sensors. For "COMPARISON SENSOR" and "MOISTUR LEVEL SENSOR" don't put a big number, for example, "2s" means it will pump 2s after reading "sensor value", but if the sensor value does not change 1 minute it will pump 30 times.

Would it be possible to reduce the interval so that home assistant is not overloaded with reading s. Maybe an averaged reading every few seconds is better. Or even every minute would be more than good enough
