OK, so I checked out the my teslafi account, and it appears that my car is not sleeping. Just sits idle.
I have started powering it off when I get out of the car. I have shut everything off for my favorites (home).
Could that also be a part of my phantom drain?
Thx!
Since the new 2020.24.06.4 when I turned Sentry on, I noticed that Sentry constantly detects something and emit a flash.
When looking at the Sentry video there is a red spot on the cursor of the video just when the flash occur.
However there is no activity around the car explaining the Sentry alert?
Note: I have also a Blackvue Dashcam DR900S connected to the cloud by WiFi.
Every time a flash occurs, I receive an alert on my phone from the Blackvue cloud website.
I can see that nobody is around the car, both by looking at the recorded dashcam videos and a life stream.
I tested this problem in middle of the night to be sure that there was nobody walking in the garage.
However on the life stream I can see the flashing occurring and I receive an alert from the dashcam on my phone at the same time.
To answer to the OP
@IdaBish concern,
my car
goes to sleep about 5 minutes after I unlock the car or also 5 minutes after I turn off Sentry.
I can measure precisely this because if I connect my dashcam to the Auxiliary 12 V plug,
I receive an alert when the dashcam is turned off, which occurs because the car goes to sleep.
I receive such alert like from every minute to every 5 to 10 minutes.
I can clearly see the flashing on my dashcam video.
If I turn off Sentry remotely, or unlock the car, the alerts stop and the alert start again when I turn on Sentry or lock the car.
May be Sentry is too sensitive after the new update?
Something like when a pump for the battery starts, this can be detected by Sentry?
Note: I was working on my car recently and I was able to hear a pump running time to time.
Also, there is no way to adjust Sentry like for my dashcam.
My dashcam goes to parking mode when there is no motion detected and I can select the alarm motion detection sensitivity.
I can also select or deselect some area of the dashcam video image to avoid having too many false alerts.
I also use a separate battery for my dashcam, so my dashcam is still running when the car is sleeping.
