Lots and lots of API calls

I don't know if this is a bug or standard behavior but the API seems to be called constantly. Here is a couple screenshots from my pi-hole:

I set up this plugin in homebridge just yesterday.

The plugin itself is working just fine.

Yes that is expected since this is a polling based integration. The genie service does not offer a web socket or other realtime event delivery. You can change the polling interval in the settings if you wish, but just know this will delay updates to the accessory in HomeKit by that amount. https://github.com/derek-miller/homebridge-genie-aladdin-connect/blob/master/config.schema.json#L59

If I use this:

{
    "name": "Garage Opener",
    "email": "<EMAIL>",
    "password": "<PASSWORD>",
    "batteryDetection": false,
    "logLevel": 3,
    "platform": "AladdinConnectPlatform",
    "_bridge": {
        "username": "<USERNAME>",
        "port": 50599
    },
    "doorStatusPollInterval": 60000
}

I still see this:

Perhaps I not setting doorStatusPollInterval properly?

AladdinConnectPlatform is not this plugin. Make sure you are using homebridge-genie-aladdin-connect and not homebridge-AladdinConnect.

Oh duh, yup, you are correct, wrong plugin.
