Trying to use the distance sensor with ratgdo disco

I have a couple of ratgdo disco’s (discoes?) and I am trying to use the vehicle distance sensors to detect when a car is leaving the garage and close the door automatically. The sensors work, but the polling time is too slow - around a minute. Looking at the code on github, the routine that reports the distance isn’t throttled, so it should be passing distance data to Home Assistant several times a second. Any idea where I would look to try and reduce the polling time?

I should note, the obstruction sensors report an obstruction in real time, so I know that HA is capable of passing the sensor data it receives in a timely fashion.

I have the same problem after recent update. With the old (over a year old) software my automation worked perfectly and the vehicle detection was updated within seconds.

But after I updated the software in February, the vehicle sensor switches to ON pretty fast, but it doesn’t switch to OFF when the car is driven away for quite some time.
