Homey drains batteries in Telldus weatherstation

Hi!
I hade an old Telldus system that i upgraded to Homey. I have an Telldus weatherstation that operates with 433 MHz.
I have noticed that it drains a lot of battery… The summer was ok because the weatherstation also has a solarpanel. But now in the autumn the battery lasted a week!! Does anyone have a solution?
Or in worst case some other weatherstation that has following sensors, temperature, rain, wind and also has an indoor display?

Make sure you use good batteries. The manual of my weather station (Alecto WS-5500) suggested using AA lithium batteries, which are much more resilient to hot and cold temperatures than regular alkaline batteries. They also store more power (I installed my weather station about 18 months ago and haven’t yet had to replace batteries).

Thank´s! I will try that :slight_smile:

And it is not the Homey draining the batteries… :wink:
As it is 433 MHZ it is oneway, so nothing is sent from the Homey to the sensors.
