2 day battery life

Hello, I've tried all kinds of batteries.  I have strong wifi.  I only have one rule that uses the mag switch, yet I go through batteries in 2 days.  Any ideas?

    Is your Twine spending a lot of time in fast mode? That will drain the batteries quickly. Send us an email at help at supermechanical.com and we can do some more troubleshooting.

    No, it's not spending time in fast mode.  The batteries are now completely dead - this time, right around 2 days of life.   Let's troubleshoot.

    I'm putting in new batteries right now.  I'll also send an email right now.

    I'm also seeing 2-3 days before getting a notification of low battery power. 

    I have one orientation rule and one vibration rule. I could see either one using more power than some things. But it's a long ways off the potential battery life.

    Twine in slow mode - batteries lasted about 2 weeks.  Maybe a fix?  I see the LED flashing a lot (with full battery) and less than 10 notifications sent.  BTW: It may not be obvious by my initial posting... I think 2 weeks is a problem.  Possibly turn down the WiFi activity unless posting is needed.
