[SOLVED] Unintended Connection to Particle When Waking From Sleep

[rickkas7]

I think you need a delay(1000); after Cellular.off(). The problem is that in threaded mode Cellular.off() is non-blocking but there's no way to tell when it's actually done. If you go to sleep immediately the cellular state is recorded as on, because it hasn't been turned off yet, so it wakes, it goes back into on state.

This post is for SLEEP_MODE_DEEP but it shows some of the places you'll run into the same problems:

Electron SLEEP_MODE_DEEP tips and examples

It’s a little confusing getting an Electron to go into deep sleep, using the 130 µA that it should. These six annotated code examples should hopefully clear things up. All tests were run on 0.6.0 on a Electron G350. AUTOMATIC, no system thread #include "Particle.h" void setup() { } void loop() { // Results in 133 uA power consumption // Modem is turned off, full cellular resync after restart (blinking green, blinking cyan, fast blinking cyan), 5-6K of data usage System.sleep(SLEEP_MODE_DE…
