Motion Sensor battery dead after 2 days

[fergalmccarthy 5]

Two of the motion sensors i set up two days ago are reporting battery warnings already, just wondering has anyone else experienced this?

[Krikroff 199]

fergalmccarthy, i have four motion sensor and no problem for me.

Drain lithium battery in 2 days it's really abnormal, have you tested the batteries?

Make sure it is fully configured. Battery status is unreliable if the device is not fully configured.

These are the batteries that came with them, I've just lost a third one today, i've 9 in total, only configure 5 of them so far, but to have 3 battery warnings after three days now is a bit exceptional I think. The only settings really that i have changed is a polling wake up interval of 10 mins, and polling of 5 mins. What are others using for these parameters, or are there recommended settings for battery devices for these

Wake up interval is crucial for battery consumption. Try to test with default value. It should help.

Which is the default value ?.. When it came out of the box it was 18000,

but in the insert(and on the configuration menu) it says 7200 s

Which one is good for reliable working of the sensor ?

[P. Ratajczak 0]

Try with 18000s. If you need to change parameters more often than 5 hours but you do not have a direct acces to your sensor, you will need to shorten this interval.

Hello everybody,

I have 2 motionsensors:

The first one reports about every 30 minutes of movement (centrally located in the corridor).

the other only 1-2 times a day.

one needs every 2-3 weeks a new battery. the other runs for months.

How can the battery be improved or is this normal?

 

I have not made any changes, both run with default settings

 

 

Thanks in advance

Michael

 

 

P.S. excuse my rookie question, but search function does not help me.

May be, the issue in battery as in

sometimes it seems to be perfect but it doesn't. Better to replace it or claim new one.

Thanks!
