DeepSleep - stodev-com-br/tasmota GitHub Wiki
This feature is not included in precompiled binaries.
To use it you must compile your build. Add the following to user_config_override.h:
#ifndef USE_DEEPSLEEP
#define USE_DEEPSLEEP // Add support for deepsleep (+1k code)
#endif
Deep sleep support for up to 1 day (i.e., 86,400 seconds) (DeepSleepTime).
The ESP8266 has a limitation of a maximum of ~71 minutes deep sleep. To overcome the limitation, a short wake-up is performed - the device will wake up every hour for <0.3 seconds until the deep sleep time is reached. The remaining deep sleep time is decremented, and the device is then put back in deep sleep again. The remaining time is stored in RTC memory. As long as the device is powered (e.g., via the battery), this should work fine. Flash memory is not used because of how often this has to occur (every hour) and the time it takes for the flash to be ready takes much longer than the total time to write to the RTC.
DeepSleepTime sets the time that the device remains in deep sleep before it returns to full operating mode before returning to deep sleep again. This cannot be changed! For example, if you set DeepSleepTime 3600, the device will wake up every hour, exactly (e.g., 8:00am, 9:00am, ...). If you define DeepSleepTime 86400 (i.e., 60*60*24), it will wake-up exactly at 0:00 UTC time - not your local time. If you define DeepSleepTime 600, it will wake-up every 10 minutes (e.g., 8:00, 8:10, 8:20, ...).
To "reset" deep sleep, temporarily disconnect power and the RTC will be wiped on the next reboot. Alternatively, you can define a deep sleep input to temporarily disable deep sleep (described below).
Please be aware that the minimum deep sleep time is 10 seconds. To wake the device, the RST pin must be connected to the D0/GPIO16 pin because the wake-up signal is sent through D0/GPIO16 to RST.
If you want to temporarily disable deep sleep mode, you can use any GPIO and connect this through a 10k resistor to GND. Using D0/GPIO16 is acceptable. You can define a (182) DeepSleep component as shown below.
If you want to execute some commands or a special script BEFORE the device goes into deep sleep you can use FUNC_SAVE_BEFORE_RESTART as a predefined hook to implement your own procedure. This requires you to code your own function and compile your custom firmware. If you want to use rules you can use the System#Save trigger. This will be executed just before the device goes into deep sleep.
If you're having issues after wakeup from sleep make sure bootloop detection is off
SetOption36 0#6890
Deep Sleep Algorithm General Timing
Let's assume you have set DeepSleepTime 3600 (one hour) and TelePeriod 300 (five minutes). The device will first wake at 8:00 am. The device will boot and connect Wi-Fi. Next, the correct time must be sync'ed from one of the NTP servers. Now the device has all prerequisites for going into deep sleep.
Deep sleep is then triggered at the TELEPERIOD event. In this example, it will occur after five minutes. Telemetry will be collected and sent (e.g., via MQTT). Now, deep sleep can happen. First, Offline is published to the LWT topic on MQTT. It then calculates the new sleeping time to wake-up at 9:00 am (3600 seconds after the last wake-up). At 9:00 am this same sequence of events happens again.
If you want to minimize the time that the device is in operation, decrease TELEPERIOD down to 10 seconds. This period of time is counted after MQTT is connected. Also, in this case, the device will wake up at 9:00 am even if the uptime was much smaller. If the device missed a wake-up it will try a start at the next event - in this case 10:00 am.
WEMOS D1 Deep Sleep Side-effects
Not all GPIO behave the same during deep sleep. Some GPIO go HIGH, some LOW, some FOLLOW the relay but work only on FET transistors. As soon as current flows they go LOW. I use one GPIO to trigger a BC337 transistor to switch OFF all connected devices during deep sleep.
Findings:
| Pin | GPIO | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| D0 | 16 | Excluded due to use as wake-up pin |
| D1 | 5 | KEEP STATE, go LOW if resistance to ground < infinite |
| D2 | 4 | KEEP STATE, go LOW if resistance to ground < infinite |
| D3 | 0 | HIGH |
| D4 | 2 | HIGH |
| D5 | 14 | HIGH, go LOW if resistance to ground < infinite |
| D6 | 12 | HIGH, go LOW if resistance to ground < infinite |
| D7 | 13 | HIGH, go LOW if resistance to ground < infinite |
| D8 | 15 | LOW |
Log Output Explanation
(logging level 4)
When MQTT connects at 13:08:38, this sets the system to READY.
13:08:43 MQT: tele/tasmota/INFO3 = {"RestartReason":"Deep-Sleep Wake"}
13:08:44 APP: Boot Count 3
13:08:44 CFG: Saved to flash at F4, Count 96, Bytes 3824
In the context of DeepSleep, maintaining a device boot count is not relevant. When deep sleep is enabled, boot count will not be incremented. This avoids excessive flash writes which will deteriorate the flash memory chip and eventually cause the device to fail. Boot count incrementing can be enabled using SetOption76.
In this example, TELEPERIOD is 10. Therefore when TELEPERIOD is reached, telemetry reporting occurs.
13:08:48 MQT: tele/tasmota/STATE = {"Time":"2019-09-04T13:08:48","Epoch":1567595328,"Uptime":"0T00:00:14","UptimeSec":14,"Heap":24,"SleepMode":"Dynamic","Sleep":50,"LoadAvg":20,"MqttCount":1,"Wifi":{"AP":1,"SSId":"MyWLAN","BSSId":"AA:FF:AA:AA:AA:AA","Channel":11,"RSSI":100,"LinkCount":1,"Downtime":"0T00:00:08","DeepSleep":300,"Heap":25160}}
13:08:48 MQT: tele/tasmota/SENSOR = {"Time":"2019-09-04T13:08:48","Epoch":1567595328,"ANALOG":{"A0":8}}
DATETIME is set. Status and telemetry sent. Now start shutdown procedure.
First, send MQTT offline.
13:08:48 MQT: state/sonoff/LWT = Offline
Deep sleep is 300 seconds. Therefore +-30 sec is allowed as the deviation between the proposed time between wake-up and real time between wake-up. Reporting in 0.1sec. In this case wake-up was one second late.
13:08:48 Timeslip 0.1 sec:? -300 < -10 < 300
If the error is in the range, this is tagged as a normal wake up where drift can we recalculated
13:08:48 Normal deepsleep? 1
Recalculate a new drift that is a multiplier for the next wake-up in 1/10000. In this case, the multiplier is 1.0257
13:08:48 % RTC new drift 10257
And for information: New target wake-up time
13:08:48 Next wakeup 2019-09-04T13:10:00
Based on run time and the error in the last loop, a new sleeping time will be calculated. This will be multiplied by the deepsleep_slip and, ideally, the device will wake up at the time above.
13:08:48 Sleeptime 285 sec, deepsleep_slip 10257
The effectiveness of the compensation can be seen here. Instead of typically 160-200 seconds, most times it is better than 10 seconds in a one hour deep sleep cycle.
