Custom polling interval #43464

Description

Feedback

I'm currently using a REST sensor to poll information from my HDFury VRROOM. I've got it set to a 2 second scan_interval, which is responsive enough for my needs with real-time operation (from both an automation and interface standpoint). However, the HDFury integration documentation lists a polling interval of 60 seconds, which is far too slow for real-time use.

I would like the ability to set the polling interval to a custom value, such that I could replace my current rest sensors and rest commands with the integration and get equivalent functionality.

Additional information

Examples of the real-time nature of what I'm doing, I've got automations for my home theatre that enforce expected inputs of various devices (TVs, AVRs, HDMI switches) so that if I (via Home Assistant) say that I want to be doing something (like watching Plex on a Shield TV), if any of those inputs change from the desired values, the automation changes them back. This both takes care of setting up the initial inputs when I change what I'm trying to do (like switching from live TV to watching something on a streaming service), but ensuring that no CEC or "smart TV" shenanigans switches me away. It's triggered by state changes in the various input sensors.

Another example is on my user interface. I use Elgato StreamDecks as universal remotes, driven by Home Assistant, and I use the input state of various components to change the button colour to reflect the currently selected input. So if I click a button to change to something and it takes up to a minute for Home Assistant to acknowledge that the input has changed correctly, that's a big delay.
