Z-Wave devices not being polled

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Continuing the discussion from Switches reporting state back to HA:

As per the topic title, HA is not polling any of my zwave devices. I have the following in my config

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/zwave
  config_path: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.0-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config
  polling_interval: 30000

Yet in the OZW_Log.txt I only see updates that are sent by devices. I see nothing about polling in the HA logs or the openzwave logs. I also tried setting polling_intensity for one of my devices and got no change in behavior.

This is a problem for me because one of my devices (GE 12724 dimmer) needs to be polled to have accurate state. It does not send accurate updates on its own.

Any ideas as to why HA would do no polling at all?

Solved. The documentation is just a little unclear.

Changed config to:

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/zwave
  config_path: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.0-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config
  polling_interval: 30000
  customize:
    light.ge_12724_3way_dimmer_switch_level_3:
      polling_intensity: 1

And now the GE 12724 is polled every 30 seconds.

Thanks for this - I’ll circle back and see if that solves my issue - I haven’t had a chance to look at it since I posted the original thread you reference.
