IKEA MYGGSPRAY question: is it normal that they stay 100% battery for 3 months? (lemmy.ml)

I bought 2 MYGGSPRAY. I’ve been using them for about 3 months now. They show up as 100% on Home Assistant but is it showing the wrong numbers or is it just sipping the battery? How about your experience?

All my Ikea stuff is using rechargeable batteries. My older motion sensors have dropped 10% each in six months (54 to 45, 49 to 39).

So with regular batteries, you might well not notice much drop though I would have expected a few percent given they seem to be calibrated to non-rechargeable batteries.

I would check that the battery number has actually updated with the "minutes ago" field. I had the air quality sensor intermittently disconnect and not report only some of it's metrics but Home Assistant seemed to keep displaying a flat line regardless (if I recall correctly).

Thanks for sharing your experience. It now looks pretty reasonable albeit 100% seems a bit too odd. I use regular batteries.

They seem to have updates about an hour ago. So it shouldn’t be extremely off.
