I would like to reduce the load on the remote Pi. I don’t need temperature measure more often than say 10mins.

Is there any way I can specify how often readings should be taken?

with raspberry pi agent not possible but you can use cayenne python library and adjust the publish time as you want GitHub - myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Python: Python Library for Cayenne MQTT API

Thanks Shramik - is there a way of temporarily stopping and restarting Cayenne in my Pi? (Say by systemctl stop). It would be useful to remove the load briefly whilst running system updates.
