My remote was working one minute, and then just stopped working. I put another set of batteries in, and now it works again. I just bought this NDX2 a year and 3 months ago. At that time a fresh set of batteries were put in. I only use it once a week, and only use it to turn on/off the NDX2.
Is this how long batteries are supposed to last??!!
I have noticed the Zigbee controller uses batteries more quickly than the old infra red based remote controller… I guess it would have been nice for a modern product to have seen rechargeable charged by a USB port… but anyway we are where we are.
I wonder if trying lithium batteries may improve the life?
I have Lithium batteries in my Blink CCTV system and the batteries have lasted almost 2 years despite continuing to be actively looking for movement and communicating with my network.
They are more expensive so the business case may not be that compelling unless the improvement is dramatic!
