Batteries Drain Quickly
If a thermostat is included using a “C” Wire, that
information is saved in the network and cannot
be changed unless excluded and included again
without a “C” Wire connected. The same applies to
thermostats included on battery power.
If you find your thermostat batteries are
draining unusually fast, make sure the “C”-Wire
connection is still intact.
If a device is included
using the “C” Wire, the Z-Wave communication
never sleeps, and the thermostat will act as a
repeater, sending messages for other devices as
well. If the “C” Wire is removed, this kind of activity
will drain the battery very quickly.
