So my SmartThings Multipurpose sensor (about a month old) decided to go from 77% battery to suddenly it hasn’t reported any events in 3 days. Putting in a new battery fixed it, but I’m curious what type of battery longevity I should expect from these? Also, what are you all using for apps/rules to…

Just want to add that I edit a copy of the smartthings device handler and add a heartbeat event every time the device talks back to the hub. Then use simple device viewer to monitor and report any device that does not report events for over 2 hours. Using this I’ve not had any sensors fall asleep wi…

@a4refillpad yep, that is another one that I use, but the problem that I run into that one is that i have over 60+ devices and it times out before the DH can poll and get a response back from all of the devices. This is a ST time out problem and not the DH itself.
