I’ve been having some trouble with my SmartThings hub batteries lately. After upgrading my garage door, I noticed that the battery life on my door magnet sensor was draining much faster than usual. I went through the process of replacing the batteries, but the issue kept recurring. I tried different brands and even reached out to the manufacturer for support, but nothing seemed to fix the problem permanently.
After some research, I discovered that certain sensors might not be compatible with all battery types. I decided to experiment with different battery brands and found that using high-quality alkaline batteries significantly improved the longevity. Additionally, I adjusted the settings on my hub to reduce the frequency of sensor updates, which also helped conserve battery life.
I’d love to hear if anyone else has encountered similar issues or has tips for optimizing battery performance with their SmartThings devices. Let’s share our experiences and solutions to help each other out!
