Though I’d cracked this from switching from ZHA to Z2M but the problem still remains where battery drain on these units with brand new batteries is within a matter of hours.
I’ve read signal strength can be the biggest problem so I positioned the sensor right next to the coordinator on the assumption this would eliminate that issue. Now I’m a bit stuck on where to go next. Is there any sort of logging that I’d be able to see what home assistant is doing to communicate to the device? I’m assuming it must be constantly talking to it to drain it so quick?
I gave up and assumed they just don’t work with HA. I’ve had one of these (https://a.aliexpress.com/_EujtQWs) up and running for about 4 days now and so far it’s still alive. Lacks the display but it takes AAA batteries so can use rechargeables instead of chewing through CR2032s
I have deployed 4 of these in my house and I have the same issue for 1 of them: it drains battery in a matter of hours. For example, I’ve put a brand new one yesterday around 5:00pm and it has only 40% left:
Hello,
I have one of those TS0601 ( _TZE200_9yapgbuv) using ZHA and I had the same problem: one day the CR2032 battery was gone and replacing the battery ended up in a drainage after only some hours.
Moreover, the reported values of temperature and humidity were wrong, somehow fixed at 19,7 °C and… don’t remember the humidity value.
I solved by removing the device from ZHA, resetting and re-pairing again.
After that operation, the battery drainage stopped.
