Describe the bug Information from the server only updates every 5-10 minutes

Growatt Device Type

Device(s): All

Home Assistant information

Additional context

In a recent release of the Core integration the logic was changed to only poll the server every 5 minutes since that is how often the ShineLink system is configured to push data to the servers by default. However, it is possible to update this frequency and therefore some users wish to poll the system more often.

This issue has been fixed in release 1.0.1 of this plugin however this ticket exists purely to notify people.

There is an FAQ page here with links on how to configure your system to poll more frequently.

NOTE - You can still configure your Home Assistant Integration to poll more regularly even if you don't update the ShineLink configuration, it will cover the difference between when the data is pushed and when it is polled.

@koosoli - You raised this as an issue over in the Core Integration recently. I separated it out as a specific bug so that you could see that there is a fix for it. Please could you let me know when you have seen this?

@stubersa - I saw you post over on the HomeAssistant Core Documentation repo about the update interval for the Growatt.

NOTE - This repo is a fork of the one I maintain in the Core release of Home Assistant as I got fed up with having to wait on their release cycle to fix critical issues. I recommend reading the README page here for more info on that side of things.

As for updating more frequently, read the body of this ticket above and the FAQ page and it should help you out. NOTE - That functionality is not yet in the Home Assistant core release of the integration as I haven't ported all the changes upstream yet, so if you want that functionality, you'll have to switch to this custom component.

Thank you @muppet3000! I have a Jinko Solar inverter with a ShineWIFI-X module. Your integration is working great!

As far as the update interval goes, I was able to follow the guide posted here That allowed me to get the dongle into AP config more, all the way to the advanced setting, where I could see the interval set to 5 min, but I need a password to unlock the settings, and seems Jinko has a different password to growatt.

I was however able to implement the automation in HA to bring that update interval down, so now HA is basically as up to date as the app/site.

Thanks for all your work on this, and all your help.

Cheers
