IKEA Sound controller/Symfonisk Remote has very high battery drain/very low battery life

Sadly, no. Or at least, not that I'm aware of.
I have had zero response from Hubitat. Support seems to be non-existent.

I have re-written the driver to see if it's a driver issue but, I think it's more to do with something deeper inside Hubitat and perhaps something non-standard in the way the IKEA device firmware runs (or perhaps how Hubitat runs). I imagine this is common and in these situations for other devices, Hubitat have written work-arounds for dodgy firmware. Not for this case, it seems.

I have moved off Hubitat to Home assistant in one of setups I manage, and will likely continue that way in the future.

For the Hubitat with the dial, I have switched to a different device which is not as good but provides the same sort of functionality . The terncy-sd01, which I've written a driver for. (here: [BETA] xiaoyan - terncy-sd01 driver)

Best of luck!
