Thermobeacon signal_strength entity very chatty

[Mariusthvdb]

The problem

Trying to find the most frequent state_chages in the system because of this problem in the Frontend (it was suggested it rewrites all of the local storage on state_changes...) Ive found at least the signal_strength entities of this integration and the likes of it like Govee
to be very chatty.

Multiple updates per second is no rarity and this is a calm sensor:

Ive tried to disable local polling in the system settings of the integration, but that renders no effect at all.

Seems the integration is too chatty, and maybe this needs some throttling

Ive mainly focussed on the signal_strength, but the other entities of these integrations are also updated very frequently.

Additional information

Tbh, I dont understand why this would in fact be an issue myself, or, rephrase, be worse than eg the temp and humidity sensors entities.

If I look at those graphs, they even have more datapoints. I dont record the single_strength entities, opposed to the temp and humidity entities. Maybe that is what causes the graphs of those to be more fluent, than the blocked live history graphs of the signal_strength?
