It seems like it's been more stable this last 24 hours so fingers crossed!

If you're an expert in zigbee, my humidity/temp sensor isn't working all of a sudden and I don't know why. It's a cheap one off ali express so it probably just died (only a few months old) but you said you're an expert in zigbee and it uses zigbee so I might as well ask 😆

Probably dead battery. The battery indicator in HA is useless, some of mine goes from 90% to dead.

I've stopped trying to re-pair missing Zigbee devices, it usually fixes itself over time. Otherwise restarting HA works.

Update: I replaced the battery and it's working now. Hopefully this one lasts a lot longer!

Ah OK, I'll have to try a new battery. Is it normal for the battery to only last a few months?

[–] sylverstream 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ive had one last only 4 months on a proper Panasonic battery. Also depends on the battery, Eg if it came with a battery it's probably low quality.

Pbtech is cheapest for those batteries.

[–] Dave 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's the one it came with so makes sense it's not great. These panasonic ones at pbtech are a great deal! Get 5 for the cost of 1 at the supermarket.

Yep I've got those. Great pricing.
