Can I wake up an Electron using Cloud Events or functions?

[slrrfnc]

Really quick some details

• I’m using the E-series with 1.3.1 OS

• Did a lot of research on general sleep mode

My question is the following:

Is there a way that using SLEEP_NETWORK_STANDBY I could be able to wake up my electron by calling an Event or Function using the particle API with a phone app?

Thanks for your help!

Yes. Calling a function from the app on your phone will have the same effect as calling a function from the CLI or the console.

Have you seen this thread? I think @rickkas7 describes exactly what you're looking for.

WakeOn RI in SLEEP_NETWORK_STANDBY?

Here’s a more elaborate example. It allows: Wake by cellular Wake by another pin (RISING only) Wake by sleep time expired It requires 0.8.0 (tested with 0.8.0-rc.8) because it require multi-pin wake support and SleepResult. (The example above works with 0.7.0.) It also has a function, variable, and event subscription, and those work too on wake from cellular. To run the test: To go to sleep, pull D2 to GND To wake by pin, pull D3 to 3V3 You can wake by ping, function (“testFn”), variable…

I don’t believe Wake on RI works for the E-series

[nrobinson2000]

Shoot. Really?

Well, it does for 2G/3G, but not LTE:

Per later down the thread:

That is correct. Device Modem WakeOnRI Electron 2G SARA-G350 Electron 2G/3G Global SARA-U201 ✓ Electron 2G/3G Americas SARA-U260 ✓ Electron 2G/3G Europe/Asia/Africa SARA-U270 ✓ E Series E310 Global 2G/3G SARA-U201 ✓ E Series E402 LTE SARA-R410M-02-B

Thanks for the information guys.

The E-series I have is the LTE one so that fix is not going to work, but I’m going to read that thread anyway.

Thanks again @nrobinson2000 @Rftop
