      I replaced the NRF24L01 and now the power consumption has dramatically reduced. Thanks for all the help, as I’m new to MySensors it helped to eliminate other potential issues.

      That's correct, no further log activity until the next change in state of the door

      Yes, I'm using pin 3 which is opposite A2

      I'm beginning to wonder if it's the NRF24L01 that's the problem. I found this post which might explain my continuous power draw.

      Yes, I did a straight swap and now, after over a week, the battery level hasn’t dropped at all.

      The current draw is the same whether the reed switch is open or closed. There is a momentary increase after a change (which I assume is the radio drawing additional power to transmit?)

      It may be my terminology! It's using digital pin 3 (just marked "3" on the Arduino)

      It looks as if the node is going to sleep OK, as I get this from the nodes debug log:

      7116 MCO:SLP:MS=0,SMS=0,I1=1,M1=1,I2=255,M2=255
      "Sleep node, duration 0 ms, SmartSleep=0, Int1=1, Mode1=1, Int2=255, Mode2=255"

      7122 TSF:TDI:TSL
      "Set transport to sleep"

      I did follow the build instructions in your link, with the reed switch on D3. When the door is closed, the reed switch is closed (conducting).
