@Brad_ST , Now that the refresh issue comes up in the new app I’m going to abuse your kindness! Smartthings removed the “refresh” and “configure” tiles in the new app. Now if you want to make a new configuration of the zigbee device, for example changes in the intervals and thresholds of the temperature or humidity report cannot be done including calling the configure () method in the dth code itself. With the classic app, clicking on the confugure tile and it would run. Many of us want to be able to change the frequency of the temperature or humidity reports and we have to be changing the dth version in IDE to “Draft” and back to “published” so that the configuration of these custom reports is executed and not having to change the sensor batteries every 3 months or throw them away. I put a link to one of the posts on this topic, which was tagged by smartthings in November and I don’t know anything else and you will see in the post, which I asked again. Thanks again @Brad_ST . > [@Multisensors Samsung Battery drop quickly after hub v3 firmware update](https://community.smartthings.com/t/multisensors-samsung-battery-drop-quickly-after-hub-v3-firmware-update/211339/29): > > Until smarttings offer, if is possible, a solution to return to an acceptable battery life in our sensors and if someone need to improve the duration of the battery (currently about 2, 3 months for CR2450 batteries) of the samsung smatthings sensors or that use the DTH “SmartSense …” with multi-open/close, moisture, temperature or motion devices and do not need as much precision in temperature information. I have added two settings in preferences: Adjust between 1 and 240 minutes of the maximum interval for sending temperature information. Now by default it is 5 minutes if there is a change of =\> 0.1º and there is no change =\> 1º. Adjust between 0.5º and 3º of the temperature variation that triggers the temperature report even if the maximum interval set i… --- _[View the full topic](https://community.smartthings.com/t/what-does-refresh-do-on-automation/222837)._
