[FR] Polling rate adjustment

[jhlchu]

The problem

I got disconnected in both HA and the Vesync app after leaving on Levoit humidifier overnight. Vesync app modal message appears telling me I exceeded the request rate, and I'd have to wait a day. If I had to guess, it's the constant polling of humidity data. Looking for a way to adjust this so I don't get rate limited again.

What version of this integration has the issue?

1.3.3

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2024.12.5

I've had this happen to me. The current polling rate is every 30 seconds and that's too frequent if you have several devices. I adjusted this manually by changing line 77 of init.py. to

update_interval=timedelta(seconds=60),

I'd do a PR but I've never done one before and don't really have the time to explore how to.

I'm hoping to get a PR from @RobertD502 which would make this configurable in the UI.

Just read about his changes, looks good! Great work on all of the fixes today, looking forward to installing it later tonight.

Seems like limit is 3200 + 1500 * user owned device number.

Custom polling via automation makes the device report Unavailable instead. I'll use @ewelin34 's method and manually adjust it for now so I can keep using the device.

There's a PR in the vesync integration that drops polling to 60 seconds.
