The battery of my open/close sensor in the freezer too dropped to 55% after a few days only. It seems to drop 10% each day. I am going to move the ST hub away from the router to reduce interference. I will also add a GE link light in the garage to work as a parent (note you need to disconnect...
Just to report back, I installed the ST open/close sensor in the freezer and connected it to the ST2 hub. The hub is across the house with the garage walls in between and no other device as repeater. The open/close notification is nearly immediate with hardly any lag. The temperature sensor has...
I see. This stinks. Sounds like a bad design. There should be a way to tell if a device hasn't "talked home" in a while. How would you know otherwise if something has gone wrong with it, like the batteries drained or power was cut off?
This is the exact reason why I did not consider the...

It is possible that the spotter sensor is the problem. It never had a great reputation. I decided not to buy...
I guess it depends on various factors, including the proximity of the hub/other repeaters. I am too lazy to search now, but I read several reports on other forums of good connectivity and long battery life with open/close sensors. On the other hand I read that probes through the door don't let...
Let us know how the project goes. Monitoring the freezer is the reason I jumped on the HA bandwagon. I lost a freezer full of stuff during a vacation. Since you bought the STv2 bundle you probably know that the open/close sensor has a temperature sensor built in. I bought the ST bundle too, and...
