    I'm using the latest MySensors library with NRF24L01+. The RF module is powered directly from two AA batteries via DC-DC booster. In fact, the arduino, wireless, and sensor are all connected directly to the booster.

    I understand that using sleep() and smartsleep() will make the arduino board to go into low-power mode, but what about the NRF24L01+ module? Do I have to send another wireless-module-specific sleep command to put the radio also to sleep?

        Nice. Thanks for the info. Just out of curiosity, is the radio sleep done by the mysensors library as part of the sleep()/smartsleep() or is it the radio HW's feature?
