Shelly Flood Battery Life

    I recently got a Shelly Flood Sensor and updated it to the latest firmware currently available.

    My problem is that the battery is completely eaten up in 1 day! Completely pathetic!!! I’ve tried a variety of settings etc with 3 batteries now.... so 3 batteries in 3 days. What a POS.

    All the settings on the Flood Sensor are default except for the following:

    - Static IP address configured

    - Username / password on the interface

    - Cloud disabled

    - MQTT enabled

    At first I thought maybe the signal quality was not good (as it was behind the wash machine), so I moved it now to my desk (about 1m away from the AP [UniFi UAP-AC-Pro]) and even there the battery is dead within a day.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Hi,

    My new Shelly Flood did work more than one day but after 3weeks the battery was empty also. Updated to the last firmware and an static IP-adres...thats all. It is 4 meters away from the wifi-router without anything in between.

    Is there something wrong with the device? Should I send it in for replacement?

    I have the same problem. When I start the device is gives sounds like an old hard disk (like those which are not SSD) ... is it normal sound? Then, after about 1 minute LED gets off. Within few hours the battery is dead. The same battery in Shelly door/window lasts more than months. I tried variety of settings and nothing helped.

    What can cause such power draining?
