Update Frequency of Values AdoraWash V2000

[Generalhassan]

Hi,
First of all great integration, thanks for your work :)
In my logbook of the integration i am seeing that some sensor states change every 2 minutes (even if i am not using the machine) and i see that the Wifi light is blinking constantly on the machine itself.

Maybe this is a really basic question but how do i configure the integration so that it does not constantly pull data from the washing machine - or is this something related to the V Zug account? However, for the dryer which i have not yet connected to Home Assitant it seems to work correctly in a way that the device is fully off and is only reachable in my V Zug app when i actually use it (which is the way it should be)

The update interval is currently hard-coded here:

hass-vzug/custom_components/vzug/shared.py

Lines 49 to 69 in 24f8c2e

	self.state_coord = DataUpdateCoordinator(
	hass,
	_LOGGER,
	name="state",
	update_interval=timedelta(seconds=30),
	update_method=self._fetch_state,
	)
	self.update_coord = DataUpdateCoordinator(
	hass,
	_LOGGER,
	name="update",
	update_interval=UPDATE_COORD_IDLE_INTERVAL,
	update_method=self._fetch_update,
	)
	self.config_coord = DataUpdateCoordinator(
	hass,
	_LOGGER,
	name="config",
	update_interval=timedelta(minutes=5),
	update_method=self._fetch_config,
	)

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. In order to tell if a device is active we have to actively make requests to it.

If you have another way to tell whether the device is active and you want to disable polling when it's not active, I would recommend using the Spook: https://github.com/frenck/spook

Spook has a service homeassistant.disable_polling that can be used to disable the polling on an entire config entry (i.e. device).

Thanks for your quick reply and the information regarding the refresh timing. I was just trying to figure out why the Wifi light on the washing machine was constantly blinking and why it was not going into a proper sleep mode where it is not reachable via wifi (like my dryer does which i have not connected to the plugin/HA yet) purely to save energy :)

That's a fair question. I must admit I didn't notice this myself.
As far as I know the integration isn't actively doing anything to force the devices to remain awake. However, it's very possible that the periodic polling itself is what's keeping the device from entering a sleep state.
Can you confirm that if the integration is disabled the device does behave as you would expect? (i.e. the wifi ind. stops blinking and the device uses less power)
