Restful Sensors in split config file - set scan_internal

But I see that both sensors are still updating at 30 seconds. How can I specify differing update periods?

I don’t think scan_interval is a valid configuration option: docs

I think that, by default, this gets updated every 30 seconds, like all polled sensors. (As you report…)

Is the 30-second interval an actual problem for you? See this post by @petro.

Yeah I actually have 3 sensors, and I can cause rate limits. Only one of them I want to update at 30 seconds the others I’m quite happy at 120 seconds if form 500 seconds

Just happy? Unless there is a rate-limiting issue, I’d suggest leaving it alone.

yeah I am hitting rate limits.
