[Solved] Power consumption refresh rate: 30 sec in the integration, 5 sec in the app

[ibennani]

Hello.
First of all, a huge thanks to the developer for this integration. It solved an issue I have with the AppleTV.

I noticed that the power consumption sensor is updated every 30 second, but just in this integration. The Tapo mobile app updates the information every 5 second.

Is there a setting somewhere to change the power update to 5 seconds? Perhaps some file that can be edited?

Solution:

1. In the folder /config/custom_components/tapo , open the file common_setup.py.
2. Locate the line SCAN_INTERVAL and change the value at the end of the line from 30 to 5.
3. Save the file and restart Home Assistant.

Now the plug will report the power consumption every 5 seconds.

Now the 1.7.1 supports advanced settings allowing to set refresh rate
