Nest Thermostat Batteries LOW on a new ORBI AX setup
I have a brand new ORBI AX wifi setup (RBR850 and 2 satellites) that i got configured and updated to the latest firmware (V3.2.15.25) about 10:00 last night with all nodes up to the version with a bi...
No.
Only thing I found was that with mine, being so close to the RBR, 5 feet, was having problems with the NEST. I found that when I moved the RBR away from the one NEST controller, 20-25 feet, the NEST controller started working with out draining the battery. Also was said that this is also a NEST controller issue as well that NEST needs to fix it on there side as these controllers ping pong back and forth on there own when there is more than 1 signal source in play, i.e. RBR and 1 or 2 RBS. Its also recommemeded to install the C power wire to your NEST from the main central AC system to help avoid the battery draining. You'll need to consult your systems mfr wiring diagram to find out which connection that is.
I was so excited, I thought we had found a solution with the firmware 32.
Now, i'm not sure again :(
Nest Pro v3
Monday 1:27pm 3.85V (newly usb charged)
Wednesday 8:52am 3.82V (still holding a charge)
Thursday 9:11am 3.74V
Thursday 6:46pm 3.66V (I noticed farsight didn't work)
Obviously, I don't have a C wire, and I believe the nest is supposed to get charged during the time A/C is running, which is almost all the time, because I'm in Nevada heat.
Anything else I can try?
P.S.: btw, before I switched to nest pro, my nest E was running with no problem for 2 years, before I bought the orbi RBK753
My RBR850 is running V3.2.15.32 and I set CTS/RTS back to 64. However, my two Nest thermostats 3rd gen still reported low battery issues after running overnight with this configuration. Therefore I put them back to my old Asus router wireless network that I have running as a guest network (I haven't been able to connect my Nest thermostats to my Orbi AX system since I got it back in March).
