ekohn00 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hi All, Just replaced a dead battery (I think it was dead since the door was left open), but when checking levels the battery and temp don't show up. I believe its working because the door status will change. Anyone ever see this? After 10 solid years did my Sensor finally blow up? thanks. PS Zigbee status also shows ONLINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Well, temp IS showing up, at least internally. Unless you have an external thermistor installed on it? Battery saying no battery, could be due to strange battery reading (ie rechargeable battery with a lower voltage output, lithium-ion batter with a higher one) - I'd try a plain old duracell/energizer alkaline if you're not using those already to see if it makes a difference.

And this is with brand new, non chargeable Duracells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Celsius vs Fahrenheit) No it's definitely set for Fahrenheit... there must be some sensor that's looking at temp and battery level that blew...
