How to configure bluetooth based sensor frequency?

[pseudo rain]

HI.

I have two Inkbird sensors added to HA (IBS-TH and IBS-TH2) via bluetooth and Im wondering how can I edit data pull interval? I do it in HA or sensors them selves?

looks like they are BLE so likely the sensor only announces at either fixed inteval or a change threshold. you may or may not be able to change these but if you can it will something on the sensor.

with BLE there is no active connection, home assistant just sees the broadcast whenever it happens.

Forgot to mention, I have setup Bluetooth Proxy on esp32 via esphome.

Interval on sensors are set to 10min, but was not sure how this works. I had theory, that that time set on sensor (via app on phone in this example), is just for storage on device itself. BT proxy connects to sensor and read data in time x, set on HA.

the bluetooth proxy just listens to broadcasts, it doesnt activly connect to the sensor.
the settings on the app may allow for an active connection to change the broadcasting intival but without reverse engineering it, its hard to know.

home assistant will only get updates when the sensor broadcasts and as far as i know there is nothing that can be done on the HA side to change that

O, tnx. I did look up docs, but wasnt clear to me how it works (HA and esphome) . So ill try to increase interval on sensors.

yeah from the HA side, be it with adaptor or through proxy. BLE is basically just passively listening for stuff it doesnt get a say on when/what it hears

good luck getting it sorted

I'm trying to troublehsoot the same. From what I can tell I have my thermometers set to push data every 2 mins. However, I'm seeing data in HA that suggests that it is getting data more frequently so I suspect it is polling. But, I can't find anything to change the polling settings.

if its BLE its not polling it. sometimes the thermometer may send more regually if there are changes etc...

I have the Inkbird integration by @charred vector installed. I'm guessing that I'm not understanding something fundamental. Should I remove the integration?

if it works there no need to remove it?
