Particle.process() quirks

[friedl_1977]

Hi @sampath1 -

Welcome to the forum. I have not worked with Manual mode much, I tend to stick to Semi-Automatic mode. That said, maybe this explanation by @ScruffR can shed some light on the particle.process(); command. Made me learn something new today

Particle.process() on Electron

Nope. It only makes sure that any change between device and cloud will be dealt with. If your code doesn’t cause any change that needs to be synced to the cloud and the cloud has no change for your device to announce Particle.process() in itself won’t cause any traffic. If you loop() is regularly falling through Particle.process() isn’t needed since it’s implicitly called between iterations of loop() anyway.

Best of luck!

Regards, Friedl.
