Google maps travel time. Scan interval via GUI?

I used the Google Maps travel time integration with pleasure via the config file. I was able to set a scan interval there. It now moved to GUI integration and I cannot find the option anymore to set a scan interval. Is it now fixed for every 5 minutes? Because this is way too much for me. I don’t want to update at all at some hours.

Thanks!

I’m wondering the same. I just got a billing alert last night for the first time. Opened up the console and it seems that updating to the GUI has tripled the number of calls in a day I make. Which means I’m going to have to remove the integration for a while as I can’t afford to keep paying.

Edit: Github issue to track: scan_interval is not configurable for Google Travel Time from UI · Issue #50153 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

Still no news on this? This really needs a fix to make this integration workable.

Some discussion about this in the beta channel on Discord. But why not use here travel time which is also free?

Google Maps is also my navigation app. I prefer to use this one as it appears to be the most accurate for me. That’s also the reason I don’t use Waze.

Seriously guys, so we start integrating configuration.yaml integrations like ‘Google maps travel time’ into the GUI to make things easier while destroying basic functionality like ‘scan_interval’ in the same move? Why?!

This topic should be closed as it has already been fixed with an update. Integration polling can be turned off, which also works as a solution. An update schedule can be set via the update_entity service call.
