App request - refresh all devices

I am using the 'zigbee graph' app. As we know, it can only paint a picture based on the limited data known, and then it tries to add more data over time based on which devices were "seen". I noticed that if i click in "refresh" button of a sensor device, in a lot of times, the device shows up in the visual graph in the next 5 seconds. This means, I don't need to wait for overnight for the graph to load, and i can speed up the device discovery process by clicking "refresh" of my devices.

Can anybody please make an app, which can click on the "refresh" of say, 10 devices at a time, then wait for 10 seconds, and click on refresh of next set of devices and so on.
Such an app can very easily speed up device discovery for zigbee graph apps.

p.s. I do acknowledge that the zigbee graph is quite brittle way to view zigbee mesh, and not a trusted way to troubleshoot problems. Yet, it is a simple and fun way to get a very elementary view of how thing might be connected.

Ignoring any discussion about whether this is a good idea, such a rule would be pretty easy to write yourself. If triggerless, it will run only on demand. You can "group" devices however you want and put whatever delay you want between groups or devices.

That could just be done with Rule Machine. Create a virtual switch to use as the trigger then for the action select custom command, capability actuator and select the first group of devices. Add a wait then repeat with the next set of devices etc
