You can set the *wakeup* interval (in seconds) of the device, this is shown for all devices that can be battery powered, even if they are currently mains powered. The wakeup interval only applies when those devices are battery powered.
<p class='note'>
The wakeup interval has no impact on the device's ability to report sensor changes. This is purely for how often the Z-Wave chip will check in with the controller. That activity consumes a lot of battery power compared to reporting sensor changes and if you reduce it you'll be reducing the battery life of your device.
