Battery power Xenon

[Rftop]

@DevRandom,

I believe you'd use:

SYSTEM_MODE(MANUAL);
SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED);
int connectionFail = 10000 ;

You would manually connect after waking from a sleep cycle, then something like this to limit the connection attempt before performing the disconnection process and going back to sleep to save battery.
if (waitFor(Particle.connected, connectionFail)) {
// do your stuff here

Note: this may change for Mesh, IDK.

For example: This is what I did for cellular, a similar concept might work for you with the proper Mesh Calls and using the best Sleep mode for the Xenon for your case:

Correctly turning off the Cellular?

If you are OK with this 1-shot approach (wake up, try to connect, go to sleep, repeat), this works great for me. It’s Manual mode, un-related code removed. Give it a spin. #include <Particle.h> SYSTEM_MODE(MANUAL); SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED); int sleepTime = 4 * 3600 ; // (# HOURS * 3600 seconds) 14,400 = 4 hours, 28800 = 8 hr, 21600 = 6hr , int connectionFail = 5 * 60000 ; // (# of Minutes * 60,000 ms) Electron will Give-Up after this amount of time. void setup() { } void loop() …
