I recently encountered a puzzling issue with my IKEA Shortcut buttons when connected to the SmartThings hub. The battery life was deteriorating alarmingly fast—dropping from a week to just two days, and even a fresh battery flattened in a single day. This was perplexing, especially since I have two identical buttons, one connected to the SmartThings hub and the other to a Sonoff ZigBee hub with Tasmota. The latter showed no signs of battery drain issues, while the former was draining rapidly. Both were equidistant from their respective hubs, roughly 11 feet away.After some research and experimentation, I discovered that the issue might be related to the communication protocol or settings on the SmartThings hub. I decided to test different configurations and settings to see if I could mitigate the problem. One approach was adjusting the polling frequency in the SmartThings app, which seemed to help stabilize the battery consumption. Additionally, ensuring that the firmware on both the hub and the buttons was up to date proved beneficial.For those experiencing similar issues, here are a few tips:- Check Firmware Updates: Ensure all devices and hubs are running the latest firmware.- Adjust Polling Settings: Some devices allow adjusting how frequently they communicate with the hub, which can conserve battery life.- Experiment with Different Hubs: If possible, test your devices with different hubs to identify if the issue is hub-specific.This experience taught me the importance of thorough testing and configuration when integrating new devices into a smart home setup. It also highlighted the value of community support and shared knowledge in troubleshooting and resolving issues.
