Hello!
New HASS user here. I have been building up my HASS interface and I have got some automations working as well, but what I cannot seem to change is how often my z-wave power plugs sends data to HASS. I have Aotec Z-Wave USB stick in my Raspberry Pi 3, and three Neo Coolcam power plugs which do work fine, but they also send data all the time to logs and I don’t seem to find any way to change that.
I pasted here the last 100 rows of my OZW log, and as you see, I get updates several times per second. And of course there’s that Node003 as well doing the same that you cannot see from that log. So, I would like to do two things but seems like I don’t know how.
First, I would like to tell those plugs to send data only once every 30 seconds for example. I try to set polling interval for sensor entities in HA Z-wave setup to 30000 but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Or do I have to do that with switch entity instead?
Another thing is that I would like to remove previous reading -sensors as every switch seems to have four of them. But checkbox “exclude this switch from home assistant” does not seem to do anything either.
Am I missing something here?
