Update of climate.xxx is taking over 10 seconds

The problem

My log is full of these messages for 3 Daikin BRP072C42 units. According to the logs, each update consists of 10 requests to each unit, mostly for querying power consumption.
Any of these single requests can take a couple of seconds to complete when requested from curl (either on my raspberry pi, or my PC), so the warnings in the log come as no surprise.
Personally, I don't care about the power consumption of the units - I just want to be warm! Ideally, if I disable the power consumption entities, the requests for that information should not be sent and the update of the climate entities would be completed in a reasonable time.

Hey there @fredrike, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with an integration (daikin) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

During the integration initialization we need to perform at least one call to know if the energy consumption is supported by the device, but then if the entities are manually disabled by the user we could disable the HTTP calls in pydaikin
We could keep this behavior for all endpoints - not only power consumption - and keep only the ones needed by the enabled entities
