Help choosing correct SLEEP mode w/ Asset Tracker v2

Troubleshooting
14

@rickkas7 I’m afraid I might’ve encountered a bug. Wondering if you have any thoughts.

I loaded AsstTrackerRK example 3-wakeonmove, and just like the non-RK version, it still has problems if the device is moving when it falls asleep. Basically what I did was shake the device until it fell back asleep. Then if I smack it again later, it will not wake back up. I waited TIME_PUBLISH_BATTERY_SEC seconds but it never woke itself back up again. The device is dead to the world until I hit reset.

Here is the serial output (modified slightly to reduce repetition):

Opening serial monitor for com port: "/dev/cu.usbmodem1411"

going to sleep

I have pretty much no idea, but might it have something to do with this: accel.calibrateFilter(2000); just before sleeping? Would it maybe be smart to determine if the accelerometer is firing, and not go to sleep until it’s quiet?

I’ve searched around and this seems like it might be a known issue. I can’t tell if it’s been resolved. Is this how your devices respond as well?

EDIT: looks like this bug still. @rickkas7 were you ever able to replicate that bug? Because it certainly seems as though I am!
