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.

    The gateway is next to a stack of electronics haha. Most are not wireless though. Dream machine gateway/switch. Couple raspberry pis (connected via Ethernet) with zigbee reciever. Shitload of Ethernet cables. I moved my other switch to the ceiling as it was getting crowded there 😅.

      Possibly the Zigbee receiver as Zigbee, Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz wifi all use similar frequencies. It could also be a neighbor’s device if you live in a dense area.

            😆

            I just changed the batteries. Turns out I was using a bulk pack of alkaline batteries, which I have used for the replacements, so will be interesting to see if they are dead in a couple of days or if them exhibit the same result in 6 months.
