Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor Battery

I have an Aqara Camera Hub G3 with 8 Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor connected.
All of the devices are running their latest firmware.
I was in the process of updating the firmware on other devices and noticed a Consumables Overview insufficient 4
I replace the batteries in the devices and refreshed the app several time, and the devices are still showing in the Consumables Overview as insufficient.
How long should it take for the device battery level to refresh?
Thanks

Aqara sensors using button batteries usually communicate with HUB once per hour. If you want to accelerate status reporting, after installing the sensor battery, press the function button on the sensor. When the camera plays “normally link confirmed”, the status will be updated immediately.

ZigBee devices are pushing updates when the status of given sensor is changed while the device is powdered on. So replacing a battery might not have been seen as a change by the device, as the device state has not been prevailed during battery replacement. So it will send the update once the battery voltage drop a bit, usually it will take a few hours (that’s why most ZigBee manufactures put the info that it may take up to 24h to see the correct battery status). That’s the limitation, but also the reason why those devices can run such a long time on a battery comparing to wifi :wink:
