Eneloops would only last about 3 weeks. And disposable last 2 months. This door is used a lot and since it has Zwave and a door open sensor it sends info on every open.
Bonus, since it can handle the lipo AA batteries that put out 1.8v and it gives the motor more oomph I made the battery pack give 7.2v and it never sticks anymore.
This is a garage-door so its not critical access but is used a lot.
I can’t answer for the OP - but “it would be a pain in the arse” would be my answer.
I have an electronic lock on my holiday condo; it’s handy to be able to remotely let someone in if I need them to service the AC when I’m not there or something, and just in general it’s just, well, useful.
The batteries last at least 6 months, so honestly I wouldn’t bother wiring it in even if it was an option. And the “batteries run out” failure mode isn’t exactly a disaster - there’s a traditional key I can use in an emergency, and the other “plan B” is the USB-C port on the bottom of the handle on the outside - worst comes to the worst you can just plug in a USB powerbank to power it up.
