All z-wave devices battery drain
Known
I've noticed a drastic battery drain on all battery powered z-wave devices max 3/5 months and all devices are near the zipabox (under 15 meters without walls).
The manufacturers such as Fibaro, Vision, Aeon labs declares a life of 12/24 months... Are all liars?
Or the Zipabox has a big problem of too many wireless requests with these devices?
A system with these problems is not very usefull if I must do maintenance often and spent a lot of money in batteries...
My wireless alarm (Logisty) only battery powered has a duration of 5 years (tested personally)...
The same problem 
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
You are right,
My fibrao door sensor are working 3-4 months, and my zipato keyboard which should work one year only work 3 months !
I have no idea if the battery duration is the same with other boxes. If someone can tell us ?

Other boxes have the same problem.
To save power:
- Change the wake up time to 90 min.
- Change the temp/lum/etc reports to 60min.
- etc
But 1 year....yeah right.

I've the same problem with Everspring ST814, only 1 month of power and the wake up time is set to 1440...
I'm waiting for EnOcean devices!!!

Like HeroS said, in every Z-Wave Manual you can find the perfect Settings to Save Battery Life.
Example: Is you adjust your Motion Sensor to very Sensitiv, it will give every small movement to the System....thats a lot of Battery.....

I'm agreed with you.
It's exactly what I've done, setting up the wake up time to 1440 minutes of the T° & Humidity device ST814. This device is powered with 3 AAA batteries type which are supposed to have 1 year livetime!!!!

I can understand a motion sensor... If I walk in my house this sensor must send the signal to controller (Although I think that if not used at that time for a specific rule as an alarm could be put on standby until the activation of rules that use it) but door sensors.... normal people open and close doors 3/4 times at day... why the battery drain for a max duration of 3-4 months ???

also i would like to ask for an example the ir extender battery down after 1 month and i have no idea how to adjust the waking up time
also i notesd for the key fob that it takes too much time when it is in the default time out
so what we can do

I think (if possible by z-wave protocol) that the devices must be put in standby from the controller when they are not necessary to domotic ecosystem (alarm armed, rules, etc)....

Find attached my setting for the Fibaro Door Sensor installed more than 6 months ago and still at 96% or 100% of energy.
