We have 10 Electron running firmware v0.7.0. Half off them will not wake up at all after calling: System.sleep(SLEEP\_MODE\_SOFTPOWEROFF, SLEEP\_TIME). Using: SYSTEM\_MODE(SEMI\_AUTOMATIC); SYSTEM\_THREAD(ENABLED); I find it hard to reproduce the error as it affects only half off our fleet. I know there might be several reasons to this error and I don’t give a lot of information here, but I would like help to narrow down the reason for this happening. ---

Is `SLEEP_TIME` a constant? If not, double check that it never gets negative. Make sure the WKP pin is not HIGH when going to sleep. ---

What to do if the design has WKP pulled high and the device is put in sleep mode? Is there a work around (such as setting as an output and driving low?) ---

This is an open issue > While this issue is still slated for 0.8.0 I can’t see a fix applied up to now (0.8.0-rc.9). Currently the only thing around is to _not_ have it HIGH on sleep. ---

Thank you - well noted for future designs. ---

Thank you for the response. Is there any workarounds for this problem? I’m using an modified version of the Asset Tracker, where I need to wake on movement. Does any example code for how to make sure the LIS3DH is not keeping the WKP High before going to sleep exist? ---

Found a couple of answers here if anyone is interested. [asset-tracker-accelerometer-gps-problem](https://community.particle.io/t/asset-tracker-accelerometer-gps-problem/20602/52) The fix is basicly to check for movement and if there is movement don’t use SLEEP\_MODE\_DEEP and SLEEP\_NETWORK\_STANDBY.
