Interesting ideas @sbright33. I was planning to put the electron to longer sleep when I go on trips and leave the car at the airport. I will have to do the same at night too. I am also considering connecting it directly to the car battery and disconnecting it thru a MOSFET if the voltage drops below threshold. (Makes me wonder how the manufactures manage to save the car battery if you buy the satellite start/stop option)
For the long sleep scenario, I am contemplating having a passive “stay awake” option. Meaning I have a stay awake toggle in my app, when I enable it, it writes a 1 bit flag somewhere in the cloud. Electron wakes up every few hours and checks for this flag, if it is set it stays awake from then on or goes back to sleep (I know this will cost me data). Where do I write and read the flag easily for this option, Particle cloud, Google drive, Dropbox, etc.?
Finally if we make the cell location to work, that would be awesome.
