Viessmann ViCare - Controllable API poll interval

Hi everyone, I have a Viessmann heat pump in my new home and am using the official ViCare integration to link it to Home Assistant.
I noticed that the API disappointingly enforces a rather strict rate limit, but would like to start automating the hot water temperature (linked to when my solar panels are producing excess energy).

In order to prevent hitting the rate limit and being blocked, my suggestion is to be able to control the poll interval, e.g. lowering the update frequency to every 5 or 10 minutes during the night, when real-time data is less interesting.
I automate everything from Node-RED, so ideally, I would like the ability to update the interval in minutes directly.

Is something like this possible? In any case, thanks for the great integration!

Hi Leonidas,
Welcome to the forum. Let’s see if I can be of any assistance.

This is a core function already. Changing your post to a different type.

Thank you so much, I never looked at the system options screen for an integration before.
This solves my request.
