Throttle restful sensor updates

Configuration
1

I keep getting an error that the http://ip.jsontest.com endpoint has exceeded it’s quota for the day. I’m guessing it’s checking for an update every pass through the main processing loop in HA. Is there a way to throttle how often this gets called. I really only need it to check once or twice an hour.
Thanks
Chip

- platform: rest

  value_template: '{{ value_json.ip }}'

The sensor will update by default every 30 sec. You can change this using the scan_interval option. See Entity component platform options.

E.g.:

- platform: rest
  resource: http://ip.jsontest.com
  name: External IP
  value_template: '{{ value_json.ip }}'
  scan_interval:
    minutes: 30
