I can’t seem to find information on the default scan interval for the tplink switch component. I would guess 30 seconds.
Can this be changed? how?
Thanks,

TP-Link what? Presence Detection (aka Device Tracker)? Bulb (aka light)? Switch?
I haven’t checked any of the tplink code to verify, but typically for device trackers the default is 12 seconds and can be changed using interval_seconds
. See here.
For lights and switches the default is typically 30 seconds and can be changed using scan_interval
. See here.
Thanks!
For switches; so my config would be.
switch:
- platform: tplink
host: 192.168.1.111
scan_interval: 60
if i wanted 60 second interval?
Yes, that should work. (And, sorry, I now see that you said switch in your OP. )
with the new tplink integration approach (tp-link hub) it seems to no longer accept scan_interval, is there still a way?
I added an automation to call homeassistant.update_entity
every 10 seconds on my switches. I’m using this to monitor pumps and they will run for less than 30 seconds, so if I can’t update more frequently, I will miss them entirely:
- alias: 'Scan pump power frequently'
trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
seconds: '/10'
action:
- service: homeassistant.update_entity
entity_id: switch.outlet_4
- service: homeassistant.update_entity
entity_id: switch.outlet_5
