Traccar Polling Rate

Configuration
1

I’ve got a GPS tracker setup on my traccar server reporting its position every 5s. I’ve integrated traccar and home assistant, but HA only updates every 30s. Is there any way to have HA poll more frequently?

I know this is an old topic, but it was the first result I got when searching for “home assistant traccar polling interval” on google.
Device trackers in general support the interval_seconds option:

device_tracker:
  - platform: traccar
    host: 127.0.0.1
    username: !secret traccar_username
    password: !secret traccar_password
    interval_seconds: 5  # default is 30

Yes, I ended up opening an issue in Github. Turns out the Traccar integration at the time didn’t honor that setting. It’s since been fixed and works great. Thanks for dropping in with the answer though.
