Removed timer based update mechanism

Instead chaining calls from the previous update is a slightly close coupled way that might need to be refined.

 The application is designed around a simple scrollable menu where menu items have been extended to interface with the [Home Assistant API](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/api/rest/), e.g. to get the status of switches or lights for display on the toggle menu item. It is possible to nest menus, so there is a menu item to open a sub-menu. This can be 
 arbitrarily deep and nested in the format of a tree of items, although you need to consider if reaching for your phone becomes quicker to select the device what you want to control.

This cannot be a self-signed certificate, it must be a public certificate (You can get one for free from Let's Encrypt or you can pay for homeassistant cloud).

 ## Dashboard Definition

-Setup for this menu is more complicated than the Connect IQ settings menu really allows you to specify. In order to make the dashboard easily configurable and easy to change, we have provided an external mechanism for specifying the menu layout, a JSON file you write, retrieved from a URL you specify. JSON was chosen over YAML because Garmin can parse JSON HTTP GET responses into its own internal dictionary, it cannot parse YAML, hence a choice of one really. We recommend you take advantage of [Home Assistant's own web server](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/http/#hosting-files) to provide the JSON definition. The advantage here are:

 The [schema](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/house-of-abbey/GarminHomeAssistant/main/config.schema.json) is checked by using a URL directly back to this GitHub source repository, so you do not need to install that file. You can just copy & paste your entity names from the YAML configuration files used to configure Home Assistant. With a submenu, there's a difference between "title" and "name". The "name" goes on the menu item, and the "title" at the head of the submenu. If your dashboard definition fails to meet the schema, the application will simply drop items with the wrong field names without warning.

 ## External Device Changes

-Home Assistant will inevitably change the state of devices you are also controlling via your Garmin. The Garmin application does not maintain a web socket to listen for changes. Instead it must poll the Home Assistant API with your key. Therefore the application is not responsive to changes, instead there will be a delay of about 5 seconds to pick up state changes. The thinking here is that the watch application will only ever be open briefly not persistently, so the delay in picking up state changes won't be observed often for any race condition between two controllers.
+Home Assistant will inevitably change the state of devices you are also controlling via your Garmin. The Garmin application does not maintain a web socket to listen for changes. Instead it must poll the Home Assistant API with your key. Therefore the application is not that responsive to changes. Instead there will be a delay of multiples of 100 ms per item whose status needs to be checked and amended.
+
+The per toggle item delay is caused by a queue of responses to web requests filling up a queue and giving a [Communications](https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/Communications.html).`BLE_QUEUE_FULL` response code.  For a Venu 2 Garmin watch an API call delay of 600 ms was found to be sustainable (500 ms was still too fast). The code now chains a sequence of updates, so as one finishes it invokes the next item's update. The more items requiring a status update that you pack into your dashboard, the slower each individual item will be updated!
+
+The thinking here is that the watch application will only ever be open briefly not persistently, so the delay in picking up state changes won't be observed often for any race condition between two controllers.
+
+As a consequence of this update mechanism, if you request changes too quickly you will be notified that your device cannot keep up with the rate of API responses and you will have to dismiss the error in order to continue. The is a _feature not a bug_!

 ## Changes to the (JSON) Dashboard Definition

 When you change the JSON file defining your dashboard, you must exit the application and the reopen it. It only takes a matter of a few seconds to pick up the new definition, but it is not automatic.
