With the exception of virtual devices, the primary thing an edge driver does is the same thing a printer driver does: send messages back and forth to the device.
Reporting behaviour is typically controlled by the firmware of the device itself.
The manufacturer may choose to control this behaviour with parameters (variables) that it allows users to set as part of “configuring” the device. But it may not. Devices with configurable parameters have to be smarter (which is more expensive), use up battery life faster, and typically add to customer support costs. So it’s a business decision, not an engineering one, and the first rule of home automation definitely applies: “the model number matters.”
Assuming the manufacturer HAS decided to make the reporting interval configurable, how does an edge driver author know what format those messages have to be?
With zwave devices, it tends to be pretty standardized, and device manufacturers typically publish a list of configurable variables and the acceptable values along with the conformance statement on the official zwave alliance website, and with newer devices, often in the user manual.
With Zigbee, though, it can be much harder to find this information and it may be done through proprietary methods, adding to the opacity.
So…the first step is to ask the edge driver author if there’s a way to configure the behaviour you want to change. They may have already researched that specific model and know one way or another or at least know some standard variables to try.
If they don’t already know the answer, The next step is typically to check the Home assistant forum, because those folks have usually gone very deep into pretty much every inexpensive Zigee device out there. (By “inexpensive“ in a Home Automation context, I mean non-commercial, intended for use in homes and apartments and sold individually at retail. So everything you use with SmartThings in most cases.) if they have a list of parameters and values, you can bring that back to the edge driver author, and see what they can do with it.
If there’s nothing in the home assistant forums, you can try contacting the manufacturer directly, but it’s often very hard to get these answers if they don’t already just publish them. Often times the company that brands the device didn’t actually do the engineering for it and may not have anyone on staff who even knows. (This is particularly true for Tuya made devices, but can also happen with other OEM’s.)
So the answer to your question is that it depends on what the manufacturer has made available for that specific model. Maybe yes, maybe no. You just have to start the research to find out.
