ConBee III generates increased energy consumption in some devices

RP-Develop commented 8 months ago

Does the issue really belong here?

[X] I definitively want to report a bug within deCONZ or its REST-API

Is there already an existing issue for this?

[X] I have searched the existing issues and there is none for the bug at hand

Describe the bug

ConBee III with firmware 264f0900 generates increased energy consumption in some devices. The battery was empty after approx. 24...40h. I observe it explicitly with:

SYMFONISK Sound Controller E1744
TRADFRI on/off switch E1743
TRADFRI SHORTCUT Button E1812

After replacing the battery, it was not possible to reactivate it. The button events could not be seen in the INFO log. It was necessary to delete the device and teach it in again.

It looks much better with a ConBee II.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

wait until the battery is empty and the device don't send any events
exchange the battery and try to send a button event

Expected behavior

The energy consumption should be such that the battery lasts longer than just a few days.

Thanks for filing this, was about to do the same. Battery lasts for about a day or two, then the switch (Tradfri Shortcut Button) is dead. Did not happen on ConBee II.

Same here, all kinds of IKEA buttons I own are effected. Short cut button, Dimmer, the round 5 button ones. Xiaomi buttons are not effected. Using conbee 2 again solves the problem.

Debian Bullseye @ intel Nuc i3

Hence no one really cares, my solution: Return the Conbee 3 to Amazon for a refund

@RP-Develop There was a new CB3 firmware release addressing quite a number of issues. You also might want to check out if it addresses this topic.
