Change/configure refresh interval (default seems to be 30 seconds)

[ChrisJ60]

The problem

It seems like the integration refreshes data from the local gateway every 30 seconds. As this is a local integration it could potentially refresh more frequently (I don't think every 10-15 seconds would be problematic). I would find this useful. Is there currently any way to configure the poll interval? If not could you please consider adding one?

You turn off polling in the integration settings and then create an automation using homeassistant.update_entity to get your own polling rate. This isn't a bug, this is how you alter polling in home assistant.

I tried setting this up according to the instructions in that link. However I only have the option to select individual entities rather than the parent device (the Powerwall). I really don't want to have to list all 30+ entities individually. The instructions in the link show the ability to select a device as the target, but that is not what I see when I follow them; I only have the option to select (multiple) individual entities...

When you update a single entity that's attached to a polling device with a coordinator, all entities associated with the coordinator will update.

Recommend closing this issue as the default is supposed to be 30 seconds.
