If you want to define a specific interval at which your device is being polled for data, you can disable the default polling interval and create your own polling automation.

To add the automation:

1. Go to {% my integrations title="**Settings** > **Devices & services**" %}, and select your integration.
2. On the integration entry, select the {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %}.
   - Then, select **System options** and toggle the button to disable polling.

3. To define your custom polling interval, create an automation.
   - Go to {% my automations title="**Settings** > **Automations & scenes**" %} and create a new automation.
   - Define any trigger and condition you like.
   - Select **Add action**, then, select **Other actions**.
   - Select **Perform action**, and from the list, select the [`homeassistant.update_entity` action](/integrations/homeassistant/#action-homeassistantupdate_entity).
