I got my starter kit on the weekend and have done a small amount of playing about with it (nothing extensive though). When I look at both of my presence sensors now, they are both showing 88% battery. Thats 12% battery drain in around 48 hours! The way its going im going to need to replace batteries in them every couple of weeks!
I’m guessing this isn’t normal - has anyone else experienced this? Are they faulty units perhaps?
I was reading somewhere in the forum that SmartThings report battery life only at certain levels. 88% is the maximum. That doesn’t mean its at 88%. It could be more than 95% as well. Don’t know why it is that way. I am sorry if I am wrong. I will try to link to where I read it if I can find it.
For anyone else that might stumble on this post, this is false. I’ve replaced the batteries in several of these sensors both Gen1 and Gen2 and they always read at 100%.
