Update frequency #30

Closed sven-debug closed 2 weeks ago

Dears,

the update frequency of this enhancement seems very low. Yesterday, figures were 4 hrs old, Now I see that the data was updated 2 hrs ago. Is there a chance to update the data more frequently? I would not overdo it but a minimum of 30 minutes should be achievable.

Warm regards and thanks for this great extension!

Hi, thank you for your feedback! What Home Assistant shows there might be slightly misleading. It's not how fresh the data is, but only when the state last changed. So when it's been sunny all day, it might even show 12 hours or so. Actually, this integration tries to fetch new data every 610 seconds, so about every 10 minutes. On the DWD server, new measurements are usually provided every hour. For some stations it may be less often. You should be able to observe this, when you change the log level for this integration to debug and look at the log.
