Custom integration to set polling interval for Friends of Hue devices

The Hue integration, and specifically, the sensor manager for handle remotes and motion sensors, works with a polling system which is fixed with a 5s scan interval.

Knowing that a higher request rate normally hurts the hue bridges, but also knowing about the stability of their own systems, some people, like me, want to set a faster rate, or even being able to change it for some specific periods.

As this is not possible in the latest HA Core, I just did this custom integration: https://github.com/azogue/fasthue

  • It creates a sensor entity for each hue bridge, showing the current update interval.
  • It enables a new service fasthue.set_scan_interval to dynamically change the polling interval for each bridge.
  • It leaves no trace (and original polling is reinstated) when removed.
  • It is HACS compliant, so it can be added to HACS manually and used right now without any HA restart.
  • It is only UI configurable :slight_smile:

Please comment about if it is useful for you :slight_smile:
