Expert generalist • Independent Contractor • Microsoft MVP • Home Assistant enthusiast Hi there! I'm Bogdan Bujdea, a software developer from Romania. I'm currently a .NET independent contractor, and in my free time I get involved in the local .NET community or I'm co-organizing the @dotnetdays conference. I consider myself an expert generalist, mostly because I enjoy trying out new stuff whenever I get the chance and I get bored pretty easily, so on this blog you'll see me posting content from programming tutorials to playing with my smart gadgets.

Hi few days ago I used your method to adjust 2 of my aqara sensors. One of them though is draining my battery super fast. for example in the last half hour drained my new battery from 100% to 30%. I tried to delete it from HA and factory reset it but still have the same problem. Do you have any idea how I could repair it?

Hi! Are you sure the battery level is accurate? Calibrating the temperature shouldn't have an impact on battery, certainly not draining the battery from 100% to 30% in half an hour. If the sensor is still alive after one hour then I think you shouldn't trust the battery level, that's all.

[Bogdan Bujdea](https://hashnode.com/@bogdanbujdea) Yes, I have measured the batteries from 3.2 are going to 1.9-2. I can see this sensor is reporting to often in HA but again from 100 to 30 is huge I know. I think I just have to throw away the sensor.
