This is actually really helpful. I have a cheap one from Tuya, that also has a display, but the battery is empty after like 2 weeks and I don't wanna keep constantly changing it, so it's always off. This sounds like a great replacement.
We have this in the living room. It uses 3 AAA batteries and they're still 90% after several months.

The one I have uses only one of those little puck batteries (or whatever they're called)
