Contact sensor battery replacement still dead

This is a known problem with the sensors:

Contact sensor battery issue

I’m adding my frustration to this thread as well. Same story as everyone else, Contact sensors with dead batteries and now just a few months out of warranty and completely worthless. And now I see they aren’t even being sold on the Wyze shop. There’s no way this isn’t a ‘known’ issue and I believe should be addressed.

Forgotten Sensors (dead batteries)

I stumbled on that thread after fighting with the pairing of a contact sensor whose battery had died. I first thought that was my Orbi router and its “merged” 2.4Ghz/5Ghz SSID that was messing with me but then, after disabling the 5Ghz network, I was able to pair a brand new sensor coming straight out of the box. The older one with a new battery would flash rapidly more than 3 times and never pass the pairing process. And 2 more sensors with low batteries behave the same. I’m afraid those are…

Sensors are Garbage

It seems to be a fairly common complaint that once a battery dies, many no longer communicate with the app after replacing the battery, even if they power up and the LED works. I just had a contact sensor stop working that had been going strong since initial early release. Except for battery changes. Anyway, the battery died, but this time when I replaced the battery, it still showed offline even though the led light was working, so I know it wasn’t dead. Couldn’t delete and add it back either,…
