I have a new (of course) Electron that I have loaded some code on …which has a sleep function fro 5 minutes…wakes up reads some devices, connects to a webpage, dumps the readings and goes back to sleep. It is only " awake" for 15 seconds or so.
My question how do I connect to it with Particle Build or dev to load new code when it is asleep most of the time?

One thought that came across my mind would be to code in a predetermined wakeup time like 12PM where you program the Electron to wake up for a 5 to 10 min window where you can catch it online long enough to do a firmware update.
Just a though that should work considering you can pull the correct time from the cellular network.
Good idea!
I guess at the moment I can just push the mode button and start over again.

It really is a good question and one I had not thought up a easy answer to until right now.
We are waking ours up to upload data to a website. We changed our response codes to say 'hey that was successful, but I also have a code update for you." so a 200 is normal, a 201 says wait for code update. Then the server just executes the 'particle flash commands and records the update number.
