Yes, your issue with battery life is due to the module you are using, I am assuming the Crestron one. It polls the locks extremely often. These locks give unsolicited feedback after any event. If you open the module and change the polling of the lock as I have, once every 24 hours, simply to query the battery life, you will see the locks last 4-5 months of average use. Then you can just invest on two sets of rechargeable batteries.

my latest response from Crestron rep from TB:
"Sorry for the delayed response, I was researching and getting up to date
info. The Yale lock has been Crestron Certified and the module has been
completed. See attached, these are the locks which will be Crestron
Connected. We are currently deciding the distribution channel. This will be
announced for resale shortly ¨C Date is TDB."
I have also used Kwikset with Leviton Zwave controller. My issue was
battery life, it would only last 10 days. the feedback could be seen every
15s, my thought was that was causing the shortened life. I RMAs the kiwkset
lock 3 times to come to this conclusion. Other than that, the feedback,
control, integration with MC3, Mobile Pro, MTX3, MLX3 was seemless.
Please let me know if you have a hint of help on the battery life I have
experienced. the customer has decided to wait for the Vale, but I could try
and get back over there to try something if you guys have a hint.
Thanks!
Trey

Hasn't Yale released deadbolts that include InfinitEX? Anyone has any news
on those?

Kwikset Zwave with the leviton Zwave controller has exceeded my
expectations. Long battery life, feedback including manual operation and
battery level, and easy to install.

what door locks do you find easy to integrate with Crestron?
i need feedback. when the door is manually locked/unlocked it shows in
the panel and the same time i can lock/unlock through crestron panel.
