Just wondering by turning off features I don't need, use, or want, does that help extend the battery life? For example, volume, microphone, etc. Or how about on Routine (Schedule). Camera is on. For example, nothing is happening or will happen between 7am to 7pm. Does it use more battery just be on "active" and ready on a Routine schedule?

Disabling audio detection likely will help some. I don't think the mic itself or the volume of 2-way talk makes any difference.
