Getting characteristic every minute in logs

[Tesla-P100FX]

Describe Your Problem:

I recently noticed that my log is full of log items called "getting characteristic". It'll pause for 1 to 15 minutes and then it'll run through all of my units again, "getting characteristic" Is this a normal behavior? Or is there something that's prompting it to get characteristics again?

Those logs are when Homebridge (and ultimately HomeKit) requests updates for the characteristics. This often happens when you open the Home app on your iPhone for example. I'm not sure why you are seeing a higher than usual number of these types of logs but it's not something that the plugin has any control over. You can turn off these logs if they are annoying.
