This gives the device twice the amount of time to respond before it is marked as offline.
Check-in interval = 12 mins

## Battery Specification

One CR2 3V battery required.

## Troubleshooting

If the sensor doesn't pair when trying from the SmartThings mobile app, it is possible that the sensor is out of range.
