I'm sure it does not make a major difference, but this is more for my knowledge. 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?

The camera definitely uses less power when it is off and when it is disarmed. Disabling audio detection likely will help some. I don't think the mic itself or the volume of 2-way talk makes any difference.
