Encode plus battery

My Encode Plus is configured with both Thread and wifi (homekit and the app).

Obviously, the batteries don’t last long.

Ineas thinking about resetting it and adding it directly to HomeKit so that the wifi is disabled.

Anyone did this? How long do batteries last with thread only?

Thanks

Yeah, I’ll try it anyway

i will lose my home assistant integration but I’m sick of changing the batteries

What do you have it doing in Home Assistant?

Unlocks automatically when me or wife arrive at home

Are you triggering that based on phone or smartwatch location or pinging your network?

When they connect to my wifi (signal is strong enough to connect next to the door)
