If you are NOT using the webhook service, your devices are polled all day long. That is a call to smartthings API to find the status. You can control how often this is done via the configuration. By making the poll values larger, you will be polling less frequently, and updates will be slower to come into homekit. If you do not want the polling, you can sign up for the webhook service which eliminates polling. You can find out more at https://www.kleinstudios.net/

Oh shoot. Now that you mention the web hook service, I recall reading about that previously. Thank you for the reply.
