Searching for a small z-wave based remote control for easily triggering stuff (like opening garage door) that is already supported by openhab, I found the Fibaro Keyfob FGKF601 (UID fibaro_fgkf601_00_000) quite nice. Yesterday it was delivered, and I gave it a try.
Getting the device integrated into z-wave network and openhab was working like charme. Yet, it took me a while to figure out how to get the battery level info from the device. (The key ingredient was, to set the “Lifeline” assiciation group to “controller”).
The individual single-key based scenes were working directly out of the box. And after reading the manual (section #7), I also got the sequence based scenes working.
However, I’m currently struggeling with the battery of the keyfob. For some reasing it’s loosing capacity much faster than expected. According to Fibaro, the battery should last for about 2 years based on max. 5 pushes a day. When I successfully recieved the battery level for the first time, it was at 75%. Although I cannot guarantee that it startet with 100%, I assume the battery was full at the very beginning.
75% was the value when I went to bed yesterday evening. Today in the morning, however, it was already down to 55% (althogh properte “zwave_lastwakeup” states the old time yesterday evening: “2018-11-01T22:35:11Z”)
So I was wondering, if some configuration values might be inadequately set, thus sucking the battery dry much faster. Any idea?!?
