Bigg issue with Danfoss battery usage
Hello,
I have bought 4 Danfoss Living Connect valves and I have an important issue with battery usage. I had to replace all the battery after 1 month. First I thought that it was because of bad quality included battery.
I changed them with new ones and after 24h they have gone from 99% to 65% according to the Zipabox battery icone !!!
I checked on the valve and I can see that the antenna icone and ring icone are continuously blinking on all the valves. I forced manually the connection again and they start blinking again after a few hours.
It seems that there is an issue with the Z-Wave connection make the valve use too much battery (even if the valve is less than 3 m from the box).
In the current situation is not acceptable as I can't change the battery every 3 weeks.
Has someone the same issue ? What is the solution to that problem ?
Important point: the valve stay available from the box, events are triggered correctly.
Thanks for help
The same problem 
I got the same problem since the last firmware.
One of my battieri was drained in a few days!
I think that the problem is that the valves talk with the zipabox every 7 minutes and not only when there's a setpoint change.
I know Zipato is aware of this...

Hello,
Thanks you for your update.
Please handle this issue as high priority as it is really critical.
The battery are going down very fast and with the number of valves in one appartement it would means more than 15 new battery every 10 days what is not affordable.
And it is not possible to stop the valves while waiting the patch.
Thanks for your support.

Hello,
I have upgraded to the last version of the FW, force the valve to reconnect and after a few hours the valve are again in panic mode. What do we have to do to use the fix correctly ?

Same here. Installed new batteries (the new blue Duracells) in some valves on 30-9, now they're already down to 40%. I included them at that time with the latest firmware on my Zipabox.
On another Danfoss valve I installed new batteries (regular Duracell) on 3-9 and this unit is down to 69%.
Just to confirm, I have not altered any settings in terms of wakeup interval. Just the standard settings that are used when being included to the network.
So it seems there is still something wrong here.

I have the very same issue. Just installed everything last week. Before setting up my network, I made sure my zipabox got the latest firmware upgrade. One week later 2 danfoss valves are below 50%, while 1 already needed a replacement (ironically the one just 2 meters away from the controller).
Is this a Danfoss or a Zipabox issue?

I have an extremely negative experience with Zipabox + 2 Danfoss Living Connect thermostats. I am not getting any answers from Zipato. I have dismounted the thermostats and replaced them with the old thermostats.
