      My new Reolink Battery Doorbell is only lasting 5 or 6 days before it needs recharging.

      I had a Ring Doorbell before this and I replaced it with Reolink because I was fed up with paying for more yachts for Jeff Bezos. However, the Ring Doorbell lasted weeks on a charge.

      Is there anything I can do to improve battery life on the Reolink?

      Thanks

          @marc_889623977296035 So you have a lot of triggers. I only allow visitor and package triggering and it will last for 5 weeks. I have a camera at the entrance recording 24x7.

            I am using the Home Hub as a chime and also as a connection to Home Assistant.
            I have all sensitivities turned to low and Camera Recording was set for Visitor and Package only.
            Can you tell me where I can definitively change the triggering?
            Also, I stumbled across a screen that showed you a record of the number of triggers. I can't find that again. Do you know where it is?
            The app menus are confusing and there is no proper manual for the battery doorbell on the Reolink website.

              It looks like the problem is caused when the Battery Doorbell is connected to Home Assistant via the Home Hub.

              ATM, the fault seems to be with the Home Hub itself, not the Home Assistant Reolink integration or the Doorbell.

              Disabling the Reolink integration entirely greatly increases the Doorbell battery life. I'm down to 98% after 20 hours.

              I'm hoping Reolink can sort this as the main reason I bought this Doorbell was for the Home Assistant integration.

                    @joseph_1979 I believe it's already been reported.

                    https://[censored]/home-assistant/core/issues/130525

                    (replace [censored] with 'github .com') without the space after the b.

                    Why does github's url get censored?
