I noticed the same issue with my ikea button and with some Aqara sensors. When i first installed them, i was going through a battery per device almost every 2 weeks. My eventual solution was to ensure that each sensor was on-boarded to ZHA against the closest Zigbee router (light bulb/plug socket). I went into the nearest router device under the ZHA integration and selected 'Add device via this device' and then re-paired the sensor/button. Since i've done this, my batteries have all stopped draining and they also appear to be a lot more stable when connecting to HA.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
