Refresh Rate

[mmiller7]

Is there a way to increase the refresh rate, say 10 or 15 seconds?

@mmiller7 I believe the default polling period is 30seconds. Do you want a way to increase it to poll say every 45-60seconds?

[mmiller7]

I was thinking more like 5-10 seconds (so 6x or 12x per minute) - I'd like to have HomeAssistant monitor some things that are much shorter duration or trigger more events more quickly after they start happening.

It is easy to do so. Just fork this respository and change the value in the "const.py" file. I have already done this.

hi @polyfaces the current version of https://github.com/gtdiehl/iotawatt_ha/blob/main/custom_components/iotawatt/const.py does not include such constant anymore - I tried your suggested solution and added it myself but the integration seems to ignore it?

Just tried updating and discovered this no longer seems to exist.

How do we adjust the refresh rate in the new version?

I would love to be able to do this too. Ideally only for one or two specific measurements (entities in HA) coming off the iotawatt that are more time critical, but would be happy to suck up the pain if it had to apply to all measurements (entities in HA). I can where 30 seconds is set in the code in GitHub, but I dont really want to revert from using the core version of the integration to a custom one unless that is the only way to do this.

same problem, i would like to set custom refresh rate because 30 second is a lot of time when i have to turn off some items. i suffer disconnection from the grid because this integration is too slow to trigger events

Thank you!!

Anyone getting this error in the log with a higher refresh rate?
