Right, that makes so much sense when you think about it. It's like when your phone's signal is weak and the battery just tanks because it's scrambling to find a tower. I swear, the whole "smart home" idea is great until you realize half of it fights you every step of the way. We had a similar nightmare with a wifi thermostat in our old house with plaster walls, it just kept losing connection and jacked up our heating bill before we replaced it.
