+Each sensor will request a status update from the SwitchBot Cloud API once every 10 minutes (600 seconds). The SwitchBot Cloud API limits users to 10,000 requests per day.

For IR Appliances, the state is inferred from previous commands in Home Assistant and might not reflect reality if you use other ways to control the device.
