Scan_interval > 60sec for sensors

I like to have the option to set the scan_interval for sensors more than 60 sec.

The reason for this is that the webservices I’m polling is not allowing me more than one clientrequest per 3 minutes. So my log is flooded with errors and I like to throttle the load on those wwebservices by setting a higher interval.

Any thoughts on this feature?

Ahh…I did not even know there was a limit. May be that is why my REST sensor did not work the way I expected it to. Would definitely love this feature. There are several APIs that limit the usage to 1000 per month can be easily implemented with a REST/Command line sensors if scan_interval can be increased.

Is anyone working on this?
I really want a value longer than 60 seconds.

When I configure longer it still uses 60.

it’s fixed in the dev branch:
