## Manual Polling
|
||||
|
||||
Using automatic polling can lead to calls that exceed your API limit, especially when you are tracking multiple travel times using the same API key. To use more granular polling, disable automated polling in your config entry's System Options. To manually trigger a polling request, call the [`homeassistant.update_entity` service](/integrations/homeassistant/#service-homeassistantupdate_entity) as needed, either manually or via automations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Dynamic Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Tracking can be setup to track entities of type `device_tracker`, `zone`, `sensor` and `person`. If an entity is placed in the Origin or Destination then every 5 minutes when the platform updates it will use the latest location of that entity.

|
||||
- The string inputs for `Substring *` allow you to force the integration to use a particular route or avoid a particular route in its time travel calculation. These inputs are case insensitive matched against the description of the route.
|
||||
- When using the `Avoid Toll Roads?`, `Avoid Subscription Roads?` and `Avoid Ferries?` options be aware that Waze will sometimes still route you over toll roads or ferries if a valid vignette/subscription is assumed. Default behavior is that Waze will route you over roads having subscription options, so best is to set both `Avoid Toll Roads?` and `Avoid Subscription Roads?` or `Avoid Ferries?` if needed and experiment to ensure the desired outcome.

## Manual Polling
|
||||
|
||||
Some users will want to have more control over polling frequencies. To use more granular polling, disable automated polling in your config entry's System Options. To manually trigger a polling request, call the [`homeassistant.update_entity` service](/integrations/homeassistant/#service-homeassistantupdate_entity) as needed, either manually or via automations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example using dynamic destination
|
||||
|
||||
Using the flexible option to set a sensor value to the `Destination`, you can setup a single Waze integration that will calculate travel time to multiple optional locations on demand.
