Being new to HA (docker latest-v8) I wonder about the concept in HA to define appropriate scan intervals for different sensor types and number of sensors connected to a sensor netowrk. Example: Having a 1-wire sensor network with abount 50+ sensors it takes some time to poll all sensors. I am using owserver as service provided as docker container and use the HA 1-Wire Integration. From known smarthome systems like FHEM or iobroker I know that polling update rate or scan intervals can be specified e.g. by entity.
Having spent considerable amount of time searching for a solution in HA I have not found a solution yet.

post look open state and the suggested solutions found here
are not clear to me.
Having a controlled and suitable sensor update rate in alignment with the physics (temp changes depend on media) it is also beneficial to reduce data to be stored. For keeping important historical data I am using an influxdb2.x and do not want this to be polluted with redundant data.
Could someone pls. recommend best way and hands-on example to define scan/polling interval of 300 seconds for my 1-wire sensors.
Thanx in advance for your help.
P.S. had to stripe links because new users can only post 2 links in a post.
two more questions:
2. could the template of the 1-wire entitiy be extended to add the value of the alias directly in the GUI?
3. is there a way to make the alias editable through GUI ?
