Noticed my kwikset lock battery draining quickly. Looks like a recent change is polling the lock to keep the status refreshed.

Recently 1st or 2nd week of March my Kwikset lock battery drained. My battery is… draining in about 24 hours. I tried to reset my zwave network with no luck. According to [on-my-smartcode-the-batteries-drain-within-a-few-weeks](https://www.kwikset.com/support/answers/on-my-smartcode-the-batteries-drain-within-a-few-weeks) the issue could be a high polling interval. This commit added the refresh capability [3ff7ef7](https://github.com/SmartThingsCommunity/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers/commit/3ff7ef7bdf26f52a18a2da74b8938259ccbab4da). Are there options to disable the refresh or lower the interval to avoid killing my batteries?
