I replaced them in April. Should have had another 6 months or more but instead the charge is now at 1%… previous batteries lasted almost 18 months.

No particularly interesting history. Automations locked or unlocked it about 6 times over that 2 day period.

Not a question, just a frustration.

    It’s an Elok, which I think might be an NZ specific brand, but the hardware inside is the Chinese TTLock. It’s probably not the locks fault, it’s been fine up to now. This might be an issue with the batteries or it might be to do with the bluetooth connection to the gateway 🤷

      Does it have WiFi fallback if the Bluetooth signal is bad? WiFi would obliterate batteries if it’s maintaining a connection.

        Nah the lock doesn’t have wifi, only bluetooth. They sell a gateway that does the bluetooth to wifi translation. I did buy a TTLock gateway off Ali express instead of the branded one for 3x the price, but it’s been working fine for years.
