I could probably run something on my gaming PC with 3090, but that would be a big cost. Instead I've just put my old 2070 in an existing server and using it for more lightweight stuff (TTS, obico, frigate, ollama with some small model).
I use 2 of them with Zigbee2MQTT using this coordinator. It takes a while to interview (get basic information) them, but they work. My suggestion is to switch to Z2M (more control over devices/Zigbee network), and if the issues persist RMA the devices. I've done it a few times - Ikea simply sent me replacements, that why makes them better than off-brand Zigbee devices from China.
What is the (approximate) ambient temperature of the room it's being printed in? Are there drafts (wind)? Have you tried cleaning the plate and then using glue (which shouldn't even be needed for PLA)?
I believe I had Eneloop Pro's (2500mAh?) in there and while the Elite would last 40h the Xbox One worked for 20-30h at most. When Elite's LED turned orange it still had enough juice for a few hours, so I could complete my gaming session easily, can't say that about the other one which was really annoying
There are also performance implications (a Zigbee coordinator can easily handle 100 devices, while many routers would struggle with that amount of clients), power saving (especially for battery powered sensors) - some Zigbee sensors can last years on a single coin cell battery.
I've used both Xbox One controller (powered by AA rechargeable batteries), and Xbox Elite Series 2 (built in rechargeable battery). The battery life on the first one was really poor compared to the Elite 2. Considering the fact I did not have to charge the Elite often, I'd guess the battery might outlive the rest of the controller, and if not you could still probably find a replacement on AliExpress. Convenience of a battery that you have to charge less often than once a week is really much higher than using AA batteries.
...and you didn't understand it. Thanks for letting us know.
