The default Samsara polling rate is 1 minute. When setting up a 3rd Party Device, the polling rate for each register can be configured to different intervals.
Define the Polling Rate
When setting up a register for a 3rd Party Device or 3rd Party Device Template, the default polling rate is 1 minute. You can adjust the polling rate for each register to the following intervals:
10 minutes
5 minutes
1 minute
10 seconds (only for non-CAN devices)
1 second (only for non-CAN devices)
Your Samsara Cloud will load faster if your data is polled at lower frequencies.

For each 3rd Party Device Register, there is a field to select the polling frequency via dropdown.
3rd Party Device Spreadsheet:

Polling Rates and 3rd Party Device Templates
When adding a new Gateway to a 3rd Party Device Template, the polling frequency for that new Gateway will reflect the configuration in the 3rd Party Device Template.
If a change is made to the polling frequency in the 3rd Party Device Template, the polling frequency will change for all 3rd Party Device Templates (similar to other fields)
