How can I reduce the time interval of sensor readin while using bolt iot cloud?

If your doubt is regarding the light monitoring system then the time interval could be manipulated if you change your light settings frequently like if you switch off your room lights or adjust them with a time interval of say, a minute or so the reading will be adjusted. So basically it depends on you if you want to change the time interval between any consecutive readings.
Hope that helps. :slight_smile:

To reduce the time interval of sensor readings while using the Bolt IoT Cloud platform, you can adjust the frequency at which your device sends data to the cloud. By default, Bolt devices send data every 1 second, but you can modify this interval according to your requirements. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Log in to your Bolt IoT Cloud account at cloud.boltiot.com.
  2. Select the device for which you want to modify the time interval.
  3. In the device view, click on the “Configure” tab.
  4. Scroll down to the “Device Configuration” section.
  5. Locate the “Sampling Interval (in seconds)” option.
  6. Modify the value in the text box to set the desired time interval for sensor readings. For example, if you want readings every 5 seconds, enter “5” in the box.
  7. Click the “Save Configuration” button to apply the changes.

After saving the configuration, your Bolt device will start sending sensor readings at the specified time interval. Keep in mind that reducing the time interval too much may put additional load on your device and cloud resources, so it’s essential to find a balance based on your specific needs.

It’s also worth noting that if you’re using the Bolt Python library on your device, you can adjust the sampling interval programmatically by modifying the delay in your code. For example, you can use the time.sleep() function to introduce delays between readings. Just ensure that the delay you set in your code matches the configured interval in the Bolt IoT Cloud platform.

Remember to test your setup after making any changes to ensure that it functions as expected.
