Due to patent concerns, some devices do not report state changes automatically to the controller. These devices need to have their state polled at regular intervals. The length of the interval is the same for all devices. To even out the Z-Wave network traffic generated by polling, OpenZWave divides the polling interval by the number of devices that have polling enabled, and polls each in turn. It is recommended that if possible, the interval should not be set shorter than the number of polled devices in seconds (so that the network does not have to cope with more than one poll per second).
Note that the polling interval cannot be set on a per-node basis. Every node that is polled is polled at the specified interval.
