Tapo Doorbell D210 Terrible Battery Life
Hi,
I recently bought the D210 doorbell and have found the battery life to be extremely poor. We fiddled with the sensitivity/recording settings to get to what we wanted, but the battery was draining about 1% an hour. To test, we turned the settings to the lowest we think we can do - Wake-up setting is only when the doorbell is pressed, Motion/Person/Pet/Vehicle detection all off. Charged to 100% yesterday at 3pm and it has already dropped to 85% in 21 hours. I'm not sure what else we can do to preserve battery, and even the settings now aren't what we want them to be on. I've followed the steps given as best I can, but with all detections turned off and only waking up when the doorbell is pressed, it's drained 15% when no one has even rang the doorbell?
We don't want to return it, but won't be keeping it if it needs to be charged every 10 days when on the lowest possible settings.

Did you ever find a solution to this please? I have exactly the same problem. I'm using the same doorbell, firmware matches and even the router.
I even tried replacing the doorbell, but it's replacement still has very poor battery life. I'm really hoping I just need to tweak a setting somewhere.
if I could get even a month out of a charge the doorbell would be perfect.
regards

What router do you use? Please check the information on the doorbell Battery Status page, do you notice any abnormal data? For example excessive wake-up times.
