MQTT message frequency of a sensor

[mintgroen]

I've searched the wiki, the issues and Q&A and the rest of the WWW but I could not find the answer.

The setup:

I have a Sonoff TH10 Tasmota 8.5.1 with an additional relay on GPIO2 and a AM2301 Temp/hum sensor, connected to a Mosquitto MQTT broker. Domoticz logging the data and Node-RED connected to the MQTT processing the sensor data and controlling the relays accordingly.

I've set the update timer to 30 with the idea that the temperature and humidity are messaged to the broker at that frequency.

From the domoticz log (checked with MQTT client)

Why is the relay status updated, as specified every 30 seconds, but the Sensor IDX, every 5 minutes? Even if the values on the Tasmota webinterface change dramatically (it's the bathroom, humidity goes from 50-99 in a minute), the sensor values are not transmitted to the MQTT broker.

Any clues why the sensor IDX is not updated every 30s?

[ascillato]

Go to the Tasmota console and type teleperiod 30 to solve your issue.

That did the trick.

But why does the update timer only work for the relays and not for the sensor?

[arendst]

As designed.

Originally the relays were not represented by teleperiod so they needed another means of syncing.
