Hi all,
for a few years now i’ve been struggling with the Xiaomi sensors battery replacement and for this wanted a solution so that i’d never have to replace the battery’s again. with a little help i found what i was looking for.
first off i drilled a hole in de side of the casing:
.
now connect the usb-cable to a wall-socket/power supply and press the connect button to see it work.
after this i used some UV-Resin to make sure the cables are not connecting when something moves(few drops) and UV glued the cable to the side of the case:
Cool idea. And nice to find a workarround.
Now you have to have access to a power source;) unscrewing the cap from a sensor one every 3 years is more trouble than all this?
if it was 3 years i wouldnt do this, in my case all of my Xiaomi sensors (11) lasts only 3weeks->3months.
plus this ‘mod’ is being done within half an hour.
