2023.12 Ping integration changes & scan_interval

[mwav3 (Tim)]

I like the new climate card

Not a huge fan of the changes around the Ping sensor - was trying to change it to do every 90 seconds (5 minutes is too long) and then saw the formula/math needed in this post to do the automation

Time pattern trigger for every 90 seconds

trigger: - platform: time_pattern seconds: '/15' condition: '{{ (now().hour * 3600 + now().minute * 60 + now().second) % 75 == 0 }}' If you want every 90 seconds (like it says in the topic’s title), change '/15' to '/30' and change 75 to 90.

It appears from comments higher in the thread this difficulty was implemented on purpose, so I just gave up on using Home Assistant for ping all together and just do it through the ping node in Node Red now
