But you already asked in the other thread (yesterday) about battery -:
Ok, let’s discuss here then - I don’t mind, but it gets confusing when there are multiple conversations going on about the same thing in different threads.
As I’ve said here and in the other thread, the binding doesn’t really control a devices battery. Battery devices generally sleep most of the time to conserve battery. Remote controls do not ever receive commands except during inclusion in general, so I would not expect them to wake at all. Therefore even if the binding sends stuff to the device, the device should be sleeping to manage its battery.
This is the same answer as I made last year -:
From the log that you provided to allow me to look at battery life in the other thread, there is no activity - I think there were around 120 messages sent by the binding in a 7 hour period - this is pretty low. I’m not sure what the devices are, but most of those messages were in response to either OTA transfers (so probably to a bulb) that the device made, or as part of a new device joining the network.
I really don’t see any issue with the binding - it is not sending data, so should not impact the device battery as far as I can tell.
