Turning on availability globally depletes IKEA E1524/E1810 remote battery #10043

Closed jum closed 2 years ago

What happened

I have recently turned on availability on my ZigBee network globally, with no exceptions.

What did you expect to happen

Just to be able to monitor the state of bulbs still being turned on by mechanical switches.

How to reproduce it (minimal and precise)

Just turn on availability and a few weeks afterwards all IKEA remotes have no battery power. Just changed three remote batteries the second time in two months. I have now excluded all the remotes from availability and will see how that turns out.

Availability feature has no impact on the battery of end devices, the way it works is that it sets a timer of 25 hours (at the z2m side), if a message is received the timer is reset, if the timer is trigged the device is marked as unavailable.

Well, OK. Any other idea why these devices empty their batteries in no time? Anything I can do to debug this?

Note sure what is the reason for it, try OTA upgrading your device I also found https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/3444

Hi, my IKEA remote also quickly deleted battery. I tried the solution written here and it worked https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/3444#issuecomment-1052994262. Five days in and the battery is still fine.

I found some strange things while doing this:

Changing batteries required some major voodoo for me. With my Slaesh stick as coordinator I could not get any of the remotes with depleted batteries online, even with full debug of Herdsman nothing would show up. I had to connect my TI experimental stick, then I would see from the debug output that interview failed due to a timeout while configuring the device (could not set the group). I had to force remove the remotes, then pairing them again. After that I removed the IKEA default group they where in and put them in the proper group. Reconfiguring after that was fine. I then switched the coordinator back to the Sleash stick, all is fine so far. I will monitor the batteries in the next days.
