Max Polling Interval #59

Closed kevdel closed 4 months ago

Is there either a library side or Emporia side polling limit on how often I could poll the data?

I'd like to be able to track a particular circuit's energy use pretty regularly, say every 5 seconds.

Emporia has a limit as discussed in this conversation https://github.com/magico13/PyEmVue/issues/19

The short of it is they'd like us to stay below about 2000 requests a day. One person monitoring one circuit more frequently might not set off alarms, but they may send you a request to reduce your usage or cut you off entirely.

If you want high frequency data it may be worthwhile to reflash the firmware for local access.
