Let me quote here relevant post : > [@\[APP\] Fibaro - Your home is your castle (by Athom)](https://community.homey.app/t/app-fibaro-by-athom/362/779): > > There can’t be no general answer to this question because the battery life depends on many factors: Quality of battery itself (e.g. different manufacturer) Was the battery really 100% charged? (Personally, I have tried various manufacturers and have often found that some of these batteries were not 100% charged) Sensor settings (the more frequently data is sent, the faster the battery is drained) Configuration of the LED indicator Quality of the connection to other Z-Wave actuators or to Home… > [@\[APP\] Fibaro - Your home is your castle (by Athom)](https://community.homey.app/t/app-fibaro-your-home-is-your-castle-by-athom/362/787): > > The problem with this would be that all flows and settings would have to be readjusted. Just this doesn’t seems to be right - when Z-Stick is added as secondary controller, you can do OTA firmware updates and the current devices should remain untouched… just testing 😆 Update is done via PC Contoller SW - below screen when updating [Request firmware update for Home Energy Meter Gen5 : Aeotec Help Desk](https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/6000258123-request-firmware-update-for-home-energy-meter-gen5) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/1/418f877c3c58360efe5c42fedb2537a8e0a2fa8e.png) Seems that even some additional troubleshooting can be performed with this software… …node 140 is Aeotec ZWave repeater, the visualization is quite nice… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/4/d4fb44b2f2142b81396610a2a1a34b4c4bca273e.png) You can even test signal between nodes… and many many other things. A pity Fibaro can’t be updated via this tool (unless firmware files will be available) **update** unfortunately I was not able to make the firmware update for my Home Energy Meter Gen5 while included in the Homey network, even I replicated S0 keys to the PC Controller (communication was fine but the OTA never started) but I must appreciate again Aeotec and Chris, who was providing support and assistance again in fantastic way - I really did not expect to have feedback 5 min after I send out the question. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-aeotec-intelligent-automation-by-aeotec-group/63220)._
