## Defining a custom polling interval ## Defining a custom polling interval
Creating an automation for polling gives you more flexibility on when to poll.
Why use an automation instead of changing the integration's configuration for polling?
1. Not all integrations have a configurable polling interval. The homassistant.update_entity service on the other hand works with most of the integrations, no code changes required.
2. An automation allows you to poll whenever you want. For example, if you have a rate-limited solar panel provider with a maximum number of requests per day, you may want to lower/stop the polling at night but poll more frequently during the day.
