IoTThinks/EasySkyMesh PowerSaving11

Power Saving 11 - 6mA power consumption for ALL NRF52-based repeaters and 10mA power consumption for ALL ESP32-based repeaters

on GitHub

This is for all NRF52-based repeaters and ESP32-based repeaters: 6mA power consumption for ALL NRF52-based repeaters and 10mA power consumption for ALL ESP32-based repeaters

• [Production] For ESP32-based repeaters, the firmware is very stable and in production. We will improve the timedrift for ESP32-based repeaters in the next version.
• [Beta] For NRF52-based repeaters, the firmware is newly released. Please test it a while with easy to access repeaters.
• We will push this PowerSaving version to MeshCore github within 7 days. Usually, we will listen for your feedback before we push to MeshCore github.

NRF52-based repeater at 6mA and ESP32-based repeater at 10mA

IMPORTANT:

• On CLI, you need to type "powersaving on" ONCE to achieve 10mA power consumption. The setting will persist even after reboot.
• Powersaving (if enabled) will start 2 minutes since boot.
• If you enable OTA via start ota in CLI, then powersaving will have no effect.

New features:

• Improved PowerSaving for ALL NRF52-based repeaters from 8.5mA down to 6mA. Initially, NRF52 consumes 12mA down to 8.5mA (PowerSaving 9+) and now 6mA (PowerSaving 11).

Instruction:

• Instruction to Flash Custom Firmware
• Please read the instruction in Add sensors to repeaters

This is a RAK4631 repeater with PowerSaving in action: Sleep at 6mA, wakeup when a LoRa packet comes, process it, wake up for 5s and go to sleep again.
