Hi,
I’am trying to create a automation that will update an entity every 10 seconds.
when creating this entity it’s not updating every 10 seconds but somewhere around 40 seconds.
platform: time_pattern
seconds: “10”
service: homeassistant.update_entity
data: {}
target:
entity_id: device_tracker.oppo_reno4_z_5g
looking for somebody who have some advice
First, when posting code you need to properly format it by using three backticks (```) both on the line before and after the code block. we can’t read it correctly otherwise.
but trying to decipher what you posted you need to add a / to the seconds.
right now it will only update when the seconds equal 10 not every 10.
So it should now be updating every minute by the trigger. and depending on how often the standard integration update (scan_interval) is you might get a strange 40 second update.
trigger:
platform: time_pattern
seconds: '/10'
action:
service: homeassistant.update_entity
target:
entity_id: device_tracker.oppo_reno4_z_5g@finity,
thanks for your reply and tips.
i was not putting the automation through the automation.yaml but via the UI.
You can still post the resulting code by going to the three-dot menu and selecting “view in yaml” (or something like that since I never use the UI).
Are you sure it’s also not updating every 20 seconds by your automation and every 30 seconds by the integrations normal scan interval setting
Hi finity,
this is how the automation looks like.
but when leaving from Home to Away is about 1 minute while entering from Away to Home about 15 seconds.
i use the known.yaml to update the entity
Sorry for this lay-out but i don’t know how to place it like your sample with the copy possibility in it.
any idea?
add three backticks (```) to the line before and the line after the code.
You can also click on “</>” (see the top of the screen opened when you reply… it is called preformatted text) You will have a block created on your answer where you can put your code…
Hi finity,
sorry but where should i place the backticks?

Hi browetd,
sometimes live can be so simple.
i’am just a newby.
thanks for your tips
Hi finity,
where should i place the three backticks?
it look as tho you already figured it out.
Thanks so much for sharing this, it’s just fixed an issue I’ve had for months whereby my HP_iLO sensors stopped updating after an HA update. I’ve now got this automation working so they update every 15 mins. Thanks
