@ -37,6 +37,17 @@ The sensor exposes the different round trip times values measured by `ping` as a
- `round trip time min` - `round trip time min`
- `round trip time max` - `round trip time max`
The default polling interval is 5 minutes. As many components [based on the entity class](/docs/configuration/platform_options), it is possible to overwrite this scan interval by specifying a `scan_interval` configuration key (value in seconds). In the example below we setup the `ping` binary sensor to poll the devices every 30 seconds.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry to ping host 192.168.0.1 with 2 packets every 30 seconds.
binary_sensor:
- platform: ping
host: 192.168.0.1
count: 2
scan_interval: 30
```
