Disabling specific sensors when another device is off?

Configuration
1

Howdy all.

I have a Tuya smart plug integration and I have a 3D printer connected. I have sensors for the printer setup in my configuration.yaml

Eg sensor.printer_current, printer_filename, printer_timerrmaining etc. These are set to check every 10 minutes.

What I want to do it automate it so when the Tuya plug is off, don’t poll the sensors (then I don’t have to see the constant unable to connect to sensor.printer_xyz in the logs all the time. And of course the opposite behaviour.(I believe I could use the update_entity call when the plug state is “on” to force checks of said sensors, just don’t know how to do the disable.

Does anyone know if/how this achievable?

Thank you

What controls this timing? If it’s an automation., use a condition that the Tuya plug needs to be ON
