BLE-bridged thermometers now refresh on a 5-minute cadence (#83) — sensors like H5110/H5075 (via an H5151 gateway) and H5179 previously only updated on Govee's lazy cloud schedule, so readings could look frozen for many minutes. The integration now refreshes them via the account (BFF) API on a 5-minute loop — both nudging Govee's cloud to refresh and reading the live value directly. Credit to @davcamer for diagnosing the mechanism and providing a reference implementation.
Requires account login (email/password) — API-key-only setups are unaffected. For true real-time (~2 s) readings, the first-party
govee_bleintegration (optionally with an ESPHome Bluetooth proxy) remains the way to bypass the cloud entirely.
