high battery consumption

[shurakenas]

The battery is running out in front of my eyes. Is this normal?

[devbis]

It is not normal.
Sometimes, it is required to replug the battery to get the sensor back to a usual sleeping rate

[shurakenas]

I reconnected the battery, it's still a fast discharge. Do I need to replace the battery with a new one?

[shurakenas]

When I returned the bluetooth firmware, the battery is 100%.

[OscarAlmgren]

Yeah, I have this weird behaviour too. What can be done to fix this? It's a Mi 2 flashed sensor to get it working with Home Assistant and zigbee2mqtt. I've tried swapping the battery in and out.

my ultracheap aliexpress battery is still strong after 5 months. however i dont understand the batteryspike on the last days.

Im having the same problem with a new LYWSD03MMC with brand new batteries, just TWO days from flashing battery went from 100% to 80%. Is this a bug from the battery report or is it really eating up the battery? Any way to fix this?

[trablin45]

update on my case, first battery drowned in 1 month 26 days. Replaced and second battery stopped reporting at 1 month 12 days. FW 3001-1100. Duracell batteries. Using Z2mqtt. At these drowning speeds FW is unusable

@trablin45 You can try a fork https://github.com/pvvx/ZigbeeTLc or revert to BLE using z2m local OTA
It is not the normal consumption for the device, connected to coordinator

is it possible to flash the fork from z2m local ota?

[devbis]

Yes, you can use these binaries: https://github.com/pvvx/ZigbeeTLc/tree/master/bin/devbis

Hello! Same issue here, I just flashed to zigbee and consuming ~10% per day 😥

I will try this fork https://github.com/pvvx/ZigbeeTLc
@trablin45 did you tried it ?

One month eleven days after battery is reporting 97% and operating normally, I can recommend the fork for those with the battery drain problem

@trablin45: which firmware version did you try?
