Hey, Is there any way to wake up an electron from sleep (any kind of sleep) through a remote POST request to the server that will trigger a local function to wake up (similar to Particle.subscribe)? I understood this is possible via SMS and only with a 3rd party SIM, no way to make this wanted action just via internet? Many thanks! ---

If you want the Electron to receive information via internet, the ☁ connection needs to be “connected”. It’s not possible when the Electron is in sleep mode. ---

Gotcha, just wanted to make sure. Thanks. ---
