Hi all. There is something wierd happening with my Fibaro Motion sensors. All of a sudden the battery is decreasing rapidly without any change on my end.

Anyone else seeing this?

That’s the reason why i traded them in for Neo Coolcam sensors years ago. Fibaro sensors did cost me 3 to 5 batteries per year. With Coolcam the batteries last 1 to 2 years.

But it was super stable for a long time. Some changes in Homey that could cause this?
