Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    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?

        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.

          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.
