core: Waze - "Timeout getting route" Trying to Add New Route

The problem

Hello,

I have a few Waze Travel Time Entities working well in HA. I want to add another one, but for a much longer route (several hours). This fails during setup (as in, I try to add the Entity, but cannot because it times out and errors), presumably because it is taking too long for the Waze API to return the result and a timeout occurs.

Here are example settings that demonstrate the timeout problem:

Origin: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500 Destination: 351 West 31st Street, New York, NY 10001 Region: North America or USA

Is there a way to optionally increase the timeout for a Waze Entity when setting it up? I think that keeping the timeout relatively short by default makes sense, but it would be great to have the option to increase it for known long routes (and perhaps have that setting persist for each time the entity updates).

Thanks! Nick

Making it configurable is a lot more work and can be done at a later time
