Sometimes I don't need TGTG to be active, why keep polling. Sometimes I would like to poll it more frequently.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have the ability to set the polling to a very high or a lower interval. On the sensor configuration something like a slider that I can set with an automation.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Updating the config and manually restarting and

Additional context

None.

If there is a service to call tgtg to update this would allow to change the polling through automatisation.

Is this duplicated to the question #34 ?

[skinkie]

I think it is different, I would like to change an internal variable, for that it needs to be exposed.

[blowk]

Sorry, I don't quite understand.
Do you want to change/update each sensor by own chosen interval like fir example you could stop polling during the night?

[skinkie]

Exactly. But the interval now is also 'choosen' but it is hardcoded in the configuration file. So what needs to be available is to be able to update it, without restarting home assistant
