Wait a minute…
Hi,
I have observed in the logs of all the zigbee drivers, I do not have a clear reference from when it started, that the devices periodically send messages from the Basic cluster, generic body data, which in some way someone has configured, but I do not see where and when it is done.
I would swear that this did not happen a long time ago, but I could be wrong, I already doubt almost everything in smartthings.
For example, in the logs that I published above, to report a temperature message and a closed status message, the device sends 2 messages from the Basic cluster for each message from the monitored cluster. To me, this doesn’t make any sense.
If the default configuration sends a status message every 300 sec and in addition 2 messages from the Basic cluster are sent, which are not…

If the default configuration sends a status message every 300 sec and in addition 2 messages from the Basic cluster are sent, which are not used in the driver, then the number of messages has been multiplied by 3 and therefore the battery consumption has to increase too.
Maybe a lot of Zigbee devices that have an abnormal battery drain are just misconfigured (reporting interval, for example)? And that’s really difficult to debug if the first device behaves as expected.
