if use sleep() the node can't receive message?
-
If i use sleep(3000) function in loop(),It can't recieve message from controller?
the log is:
2016/7/27 0:29:20 RX 0;255;3;0;9;!TSP:MSG:SEND 0-0-1-1 s=5,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=fail:5 (i test it on MYSCtroller).if remove the sleep() function,and use delay() funtion the node can receive the message!

@Magic-W
sleep() function is powering down both rf radio and arduino, therefore no way to get messages during that time. Maybe you can wake frequently and wait a brief time to check if any messages coming while gw sending messages for a few times repeatedly. I read this kind of thing on forum I guess it was about battery actuator.Meanwhile using delay() isn't that good since it is a blocking function, prefer wait() since it runs process() on background.

@Magic-W Of course, a sleeping node is by definition not able to receive and process incoming messages.

@Magic-W When you have some control over what you want to receive and when you can trick it like:
- When you want to recieve information (possibly from the controller). use
request(<sensor>) wait(<milliseconds>)(keep awake) for the sender to send the info.- either
receivethe information or conclude that something went wrong (if you can expect there will allways be a value sent) sleepfor as long as you want.
It will depend on your controller if and how it reacts to
request. For Domoticz V_STATUS and V_TEXT do work.You can also build a "broker" node (or integrate it in your gateway). Thise is very flexible and independent of your controller (but not very user friendly). I you need any how to's just let me know.

@AWI thanks for your replay！
in your way,the node can alwayssleepif it don't send mesage? When i want to wake it up，i can sendrequest(<sensor>)from the controller? How do I deal with therequestmessage in the sensor node?Look forward to your reply！

@Magic-W if you substitute delay() and sleep() to wait(), the node will process incoming messages.

@Magic-W the intention is that you send a
Requestfrom your node when you want toReceivea status update from the controller. The controller sends you a response with the requested status. You keep the node awakeWaituntil you receive the message from the controller.In fact you are polling for new messages every x time or whenever you need an update.
