    @mfalkvidd , you are absolutely right. Let me clarify.
    I am using the example code that is under build and power meter pulse sensor, updated may 1st, 2018.
    Running it with "sleep mode = false" it works fine with both usb and battery power, just drains the battery quite fast.
    Setting it to "sleep mode = true" it doesn't work either on usb or battery power.

    Here's how the serial monitor looks for the startup phase with sleep mode as true.

    23:21:26.480 -> 2277 TSF:TDI:TSL
    

    As far as i can see it seems fine and also shows up in myscontroller.

    And here is an example how it looks after 20 seconds sleep.

    23:26:36.346 -> 2423 TSF:TDI:TSL
    

    I don't see any connection attempts with my gateway, or shouldn't there by any if the sensor is not triggered?

    Here i can show how it looks when tricking the sensor with the ir on the mouse.

    23:27:49.546 -> 2518 TSF:TDI:TSL
    

    Interrupt is triggered and it wakes up, but nothing is sent to the gateway.

    Have i missed something?

      @patrikr76 great info, thanks!

      The -1 in Wup=-1 indicates that the node was waken up by timer and not by interrupt. That’s very strange, since the time stamps clearly show that 20 seconds has not passed.

      Could you add

      Serial.println(pulseCount);
      

      after

      sleep(SEND_FREQUENCY);
      

      to see if pulseCount is increased?

        @mfalkvidd , Here's the serial monitor after adding the serial print.

        2269 MCO:SLP:WUP=-1
        14:15:15.125 -> 2270 TSF:TRI:TSB
        14:15:15.125 -> 0

        14:15:15.125 -> 2277 TSF:TDI:TSL
        2279 MCO:SLP:WUP=-1
        14:15:37.264 -> 2281 TSF:TRI:TSB
        14:15:37.264 -> 0
        14:15:37.264 -> 2282 MCO:SLP:MS=20000,SMS=0,I1=255,M1=255,I2=255,M2=255
        14:15:37.264 -> 2287 TSF:TDI:TSL
        2289 MCO:SLP:WUP=-1
        14:15:59.354 -> 2291 TSF:TRI:TSB
        14:15:59.354 -> 0
        14:15:59.354 -> 2293 MCO:SLP:MS=20000,SMS=0,I1=255,M1=255,I2=255,M2=255
        14:15:59.389 -> 2298 TSF:TDI:TSL
        

        As you see, it sleeps about 22 secs with no pulse on it.

        Moving the mouse over it gives this.

        14:18:23.059 -> 2372 TSF:TDI:TSL
        

        Looking through the code, this one raises a flag.

        if (pcReceived && (SLEEP_MODE || sendTime))
        

        The pulseCount send is within that if statement which is not fullfilled because it doesn't receive pcReceived.
        Or am i wrong?

          Found a solution, which is not ideal.
          I was having similar problem with a motion sensor not being able to send, adding a delay after sleep helped on that one, but it was just a 5ms delay needed.

          On this one i had to add a 1 sec delay in the begining of the loop. I tried smaller but then it didn't work.
          I am starting to think it is the nano clone that has crappy components.

            @patrikr76 nice work.
            Sounds very similar to https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/9655/delay-after-tsf-tri-tsb/14

              I have two meters I would like to measure: One that the LED is off most of the time and briefly pulses on per increment (at 3200 pulses per Kwh - so I adjusted the pulse factor accordingly). This works fine. The second meter, the LED pulses off (meaning the led it lit most of the time, and pulses off briefly). Do I need to adjust the code in any way to deal with this meter? Thanks. Really impressed it works virtually out of the box.

                Great work @stkilda
                I think the sketch will work without modification. The easiest way to find out is probably to try it.

                  you may need to change the interrupt behavior, but try it first

                    Is there a suggested replacement for the TSL250? While it can still be found, it seems to be discontinued for the most part.

                    I've had no luck with the LM393 solution for my new power meter. Just can't tune it to pick up the led impulses. What sort of diode solution is everyone else using? I'm aware of the possibility of IR communication (https://wiki.hal9k.dk/projects/kamstrup) but it seems a little over the top.

                        Hello
                        my skectch works very well, only I have a double pricing, I manage to recover the information. but I have to modify the code in order to have my exact consumption.
                        but my code sends me information always on the same IDs.
                        thank you

                          Hi @fullmetal, welcome to the forum :-)

                          Could you explain what double pricing means?

                            Our electricity provider offers several rates.

                            HP: Full time
                            HC: off-peak time

                            usually the HP/HC rate is programmed at night by the provider.

                            As the consumption is saved by the arduino, I need two different IDs to trace the information to domotics

                                  In fact, my code does not work as I would like, HC information systematically go back to the HP ID.

                                  Can you help me

                                    Update: Running for over 12 months on 2 regular AA batteries using the method I described above. Basically rather than powering the tsl257 constantly, I wake up every 125ms then send power to the tsl257, check if there has been a state change in the power meter light then go back to sleep.

                                      Hi

                                      My heat exchanger does only give one pulse / kWh which results in that there can be hours between the pulses. When doing the watt calculation micros are used and that counter overflow after 70minutes. See: https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/time/micros/

                                      I have modified the sketch to use millis instead of micros when the time between the pulses are above one hour and micros if it is less than an hour.

                                      I hope I did it correct ;-)

                                      Best regards
                                      Peter Andersson

                                       * DESCRIPTION
                                       * This sketch provides an example how to implement a LM393 PCB
                                       * Use this sensor to measure kWh and Watt of your house meter
                                       * You need to set the correct pulsefactor of your meter (blinks per kWh).
                                       * The sensor starts by fetching current kWh value from gateway.
                                       * Reports both kWh and Watt back to gateway.
                                       *
                                       * Unfortunately millis() won't increment when the Arduino is in
                                       * sleepmode. So we cannot make this sensor sleep if we also want
                                       * to calculate/report watt value.

                                        Hi

                                        My heat exchanger does only give one pulse / kWh which results in that there can be hours between the pulses. When doing the watt calculation micros are used and that counter overflow after 70minutes. See: https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/time/micros/

                                        I have modified the sketch to use millis instead of micros when the time between the pulses are above one hour and micros if it is less than an hour.

                                        I hope I did it correct ;-)

                                        Best regards
                                        Peter Andersson

                                         * DESCRIPTION
                                         * This sketch provides an example how to implement a LM393 PCB
                                         * Use this sensor to measure kWh and Watt of your house meter
                                         * You need to set the correct pulsefactor of your meter (blinks per kWh).
                                         * The sensor starts by fetching current kWh value from gateway.
                                         * Reports both kWh and Watt back to gateway.
                                         *
                                         * Unfortunately millis() won't increment when the Arduino is in
                                         * sleepmode. So we cannot make this sensor sleep if we also want
                                         * to calculate/report watt value.

                                        Thanks @it-slav

                                        I have created a pull request based on your sketch.

                                        https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/1306

                                        There were some merge problems, but I think I got them all ironed out.

                                          Hello everyone.
                                          Is it possible to evaluate two electricity meter signals with one sensor?
                                          Thank you!
