Heelo, I understand from the documentation that an Electron can be put to sleep for a particular amount of time or made to wake up when an event (RISING, FALLING, CHANGE edge) is detected on a particular pin. I was wondering if there was a way to wake up the Electron when a particular condition was…

System.sleep(timeout) is some other sleep mode than System.sleep(pin, edge, timeout) just as System.sleep(SLEEP_MODE_DEEP, timeout) is some third sleep mode again. BTW, I'd not call the first in the list "sleep mode" at all, since it only switches off the radio module and switches it back on after …

Posts already referred: [image] Waking up Electron from sleep using Pin and SMS Firmware Hi, I have an electron that i need to wake up based on a pin interrupt e.g. D2 and also have the some option to wake up using SMS. I am trying to useSystem.sleep(wakeUpPin, edgeTrig…

there are different kinds of sleep but in deep sleep, you cannot read a sensor you can use deep sleep to power down and wake on a timer. check the values and then power up the Cellular radio. look at the docs for sleep modes

As @BulldogLowell already pointed out not in deep sleep. But also not in Standby Sleep. All due to the fact that there is no code running while sleeping that way. But since you seem to be dealing with analog sensors you can factor a wake or block signal electronically. There might be other low po…

Thank you, @BulldogLowell . @ScruffR Could you elaborate what you mean by this? [image] ScruffR: But since you seem to be dealing with analog sensors you can factor a wake or block signal electronically. Also, would I end up consuming more power if I were to put my electron to sleep (deep sl…

I am trying to implement a system which wakes up the Electron everytime the temperature exceeds 75 F. Which means, the electron will be awake and NOT fall asleep the whole time temp is above the threshold. Here’s my code: (D0 and D7 have been connected to each other) #include <SHT1x.h> SYSTEM_T…

I said [image] ScruffR: But since you seem to be dealing with analog sensors you can factor a wake or block signal electronically. due to your previous example using analogRead(A0) which would open the direct signal translation from an analog value to a digital wake signal. But now you are …

[image] ScruffR: On the other hand if you want to keep the device from going to sleep, why not just put the sleep block into an else branch of your if (temp_f > 75)? Thanks @ScruffR . This is exactly what I ended up doing shortly after I posted the question. I am getting the workflow I hoped …

[image] ScruffR: An implementation that wakes the device when the temperature exceeds the threshold does not mean it won't fall asleep again. As long as the temperature is above the threshold, the else {System.sleep()...} loop doesn't get executed. So I am able to keep the device "awake" till…

Thanks, @ScruffR :slight_smile:

Hello, Bringing back up an old topic – I have a case where I want a non-blocking sleep command, and there is a condition that would need to wake the Particle from sleep (not like choosing whether it should go to sleep or not, as this thread discusses). Would a Particle.connect() call be enough? An…
