    @Njwyborn can't you use the MySensors sleep to waker from interrupt?

    Yes, that is exactly what I am doing, however, as I hopefully explained, AFTER the interrupt, the node returns to sleep and does not action the rest of the main loop.

    I am Calling

    sleep(RainPin, FALLING, MYsleepTime*3); 
    

    having already defined the pin and interrupt handler etc.

      pinMode(RainPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
        EIFR = (1<<INTF0) | (1<<INTF1);// prevent initial trigger, clear interrupt
        wait(100);
        EIFR = (1<<INTF0) | (1<<INTF1);
      attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainPin), RainINT, FALLING);
    

    all works perfectly, in that the interrupt executes.
    What I am asking is . Is there a way of stopping the sleep from continuing for the rest of the time defined by MYsleepTime? ( actually MYsleepTime = 3600000)
    I can, and am for the moment, performing the calculations, and sending data to the controller in the interrupt, but that is very poor programming in principal. What I wish to do is simply set a flag, and then have the main loop execute, where I can decide what to do, and then return to sleep, after I have done all I wish.

    Many thanks

      @Njwyborn post your full sketch please. You should not attach your own interrupt handler and let mysensors handle it instead.

        Full sketch as requested. the sketch includes some serial.prints in the interrupt handler for debug purposes.
        the vast majority of the interrupt code, was in the main loop, I have moved it in order to get "on demand" transmissions, so I can test Domoticz / setup the device. I HAD to include somthing for the rainrate, else donoticz wouldnt create the device, even though it showed up in hardware OK.

          @Njwyborn post your full sketch please. You should not attach your own interrupt handler and let mysensors handle it instead.

          Could you elaborate a little please on the declaration of the interrupt?
          Are you saying that the sleep function

          sleep(RainPin, FALLING, MYsleepTime);
          

          Sets an interrupt handler, the same as

          attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainPin), RainINT, FALLING);
          

          If that's the case, how does it know what routeen to call?
          If I do not declare the interrupt, as usual, then surely, when code is in the middle of executing in the loop, or another function, how would the event be captured?

          many thanks

            @Njwyborn yes, the sleep() function which takes an interrupt will install an interrupt handler, enable interrupts for wakeup and then goes to sleep for the specified time, unless it wakes early from an interrupt.
            Its use and some example code is documented here: https://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_20#sleeping

            If you're into low-level coding you can find the heart of the underlying library implementation for AVR here https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/b9d9cc339659f724aa94d4108fc5289a720d1bcd/hal/architecture/AVR/MyHwAVR.cpp#L175
            It takes care of some tricky corner-cases involving interrupts and sleeping the CPU.

            Note that you should call sleep() as

            sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainPin), FALLING, MYsleepTime);
            

            so pass it an interrupt instead of the pin number

              many thanks for the response.
              So if I understand correctly, you are saying (in my code above) that I should call

              sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainINT), FALLING, MYsleepTime);
              
              

              that is passing the interrupt handler RATHER than the PIN?

              BUT still call

              pinMode(RainPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
              attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainPin), RainINT, FALLING);
              

              in the setup?

              From my reading of the code you reference above, any existing interrupt handler is disabled prior to the final sleeping, and re-attachment of the interrupt. However I don't see where it might reference the interrupt handler.
              I see that a value is returned after waking, which is either the pin, or "0" dependant on wake cause, and this is utilised in the example you quote above.

              Question, Is an existing interrupt handler re-instated anywhere after waking? or is it up to me to re-attech the IRQ handler? I ask, as if not then any "event" occurring whilst not sleeping will be missed. which in my case is quite likely during heavy rain.
              Sorry if I am being a little thick. Might it be better for me to use just a short timed sleep (say 1 sec), loop for n sec to provide my ultimate sleep time, subject to breaking the loop if a interrupt occurs, by setting a flag in the IRQ handler.
              I realise this is what is sort of being done in the example above, using Mysensors returned value from the sleep + interrupt function, but it won't (I think) address the case of an interrupt occuring whilst actioning the several seconds potentially utilised during the main loop, especially if there are re-transmit attempts.

              Once again many thanks for the help.

              regards Nigel

                Update.
                If I called the sleep, passing the interrupt, rather than the pin

                sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainINT), FALLING, MYsleepTime);
                

                the compiler complained (unsurprisingly I thought), as it is expecting a uint8_t

                int8_t hwSleep(const uint8_t interrupt1, const uint8_t mode1, const uint8_t interrupt2,

                If I passed the pin, but utilised the return value as in

                wakeupReason = sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(INT_PIN), CHANGE, sleepTime);
                

                ALL Iever got was "-1" as a return value, EVEN THOUGH the interrupt was firing (still having defined and attached the interrupt)

                pinMode(RainPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
                  EIFR = (1 << INTF0) | (1 << INTF1); // prevent initial trigger, clear interrupt
                  wait(100);
                  EIFR = (1 << INTF0) | (1 << INTF1);
                  attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainPin), RainINT, FALLING);
                

                If I detached the interrupt, before calling the sleep function with

                
                  detachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainPin));
                

                then the Interrupt failed to execute, NOR did the return value from the sleep function deviate from -1
                I was calling this for 1000ms, in a loop, checking the return value and executing the original RainInt() to do the counting/ incrementing.

                In the end I have gone with my own looping sleep, and checking at the end of each sleep, for the interrupt having fired.

                // Sleeping 
                 
                            while((SleepCnt < MYsleepTime) ){
                              sleep(1000);
                            
                                  if(RainInterrupt == 1){
                                    break;
                                  }
                                  else{
                                    Slept = 1;
                                    wdt_reset();
                                  }
                              SleepCnt=SleepCnt+1000; // count another 1000ms of sleep
                              wdt_reset();
                            
                            }// end while
                

                This works fine, including actioning the interrupt if it occurs during the rest of the loop.

                should anyone be interested, here is the whole sketch, no douby it can be much improved upon, but it is working.

                  Update.
                  If I called the sleep, passing the interrupt, rather than the pin

                  sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainINT), FALLING, MYsleepTime);
                  

                  the compiler complained (unsurprisingly I thought), as it is expecting a uint8_t

                  int8_t hwSleep(const uint8_t interrupt1, const uint8_t mode1, const uint8_t interrupt2,

                  If I passed the pin, but utilised the return value as in

                  wakeupReason = sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(INT_PIN), CHANGE, sleepTime);
                  

                  ALL Iever got was "-1" as a return value, EVEN THOUGH the interrupt was firing (still having defined and attached the interrupt)

                  pinMode(RainPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
                    EIFR = (1 << INTF0) | (1 << INTF1); // prevent initial trigger, clear interrupt
                    wait(100);
                    EIFR = (1 << INTF0) | (1 << INTF1);
                    attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainPin), RainINT, FALLING);
                  

                  If I detached the interrupt, before calling the sleep function with

                  
                    detachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(RainPin));
                  

                  then the Interrupt failed to execute, NOR did the return value from the sleep function deviate from -1
                  I was calling this for 1000ms, in a loop, checking the return value and executing the original RainInt() to do the counting/ incrementing.

                  In the end I have gone with my own looping sleep, and checking at the end of each sleep, for the interrupt having fired.

                  // Sleeping 
                   
                              while((SleepCnt < MYsleepTime) ){
                                sleep(1000);
                              
                                    if(RainInterrupt == 1){
                                      break;
                                    }
                                    else{
                                      Slept = 1;
                                      wdt_reset();
                                    }
                                SleepCnt=SleepCnt+1000; // count another 1000ms of sleep
                                wdt_reset();
                              
                              }// end while
                  

                  This works fine, including actioning the interrupt if it occurs during the rest of the loop.

                  should anyone be interested, here is the whole sketch, no douby it can be much improved upon, but it is working.

                  @Njwyborn Good to see you how have a somewhat working solution.
                  Just configuring the pin for input, and passing the corresponding interrupt (not the pin) to the sleep() fuction as in my example does work.
                  I have many sleeping sensors that wake from either timer or interrupt and they all work correctly.

                  Others, please don't use this as an example, as the manual watchdog and interrupt handling will likely interfere with the MySensors AVR implementation.

                  I can only help when the exact compiler error is known (not "the compiler complained (unsurprisingly I thought), as it is expecting a uint8_t"), and if you provide a minimal sketch that exhibits the compiler error.

                  The hardware could also be a cause of errors; bouncing switches and sleeping nodes don't play together nicely, unless signals are debounced.

                    Many thanks for coming back.
                    Ok, so if I just define the pin as INPUT_PULLUP, and not attach a interrupt, when I call sleep, passing the interrupt handler, it WILL call the handler?

                    the compiler outputs:

                    N:\Home Automation\Arduino\MySensors\Solar_Soil_Sensor_and_Rain_Sensor\Solar_Soil_Sensor_and_Rain_Sensor.ino:298:40: warning: invalid conversion from 'void (*)()' to 'uint8_t {aka unsigned char}' [-fpermissive]
                         sleep(RainINT, FALLING, MYsleepTime);
                    
                    
                    

                    when I invoke the sleep, passing the interrupt handler.

                    How is it possible to utilise an interrupt on a otherwise sleeping node, WHEN it is awake?
                    This is one of the "issues" I mentioned above by not using / invoking the attachment of the interrupt at all, and why I tried to use the normal attachment of the interrupt, then detaching it, just prior to calling the sleep (albeit passing the pin, rather than the handler). devices that would suffer without being able to utilise interrupts when awake, would include among others, a rain sensor, a flow meter, even a pulse counter for say a water meter, if battery powered, and needing to sleep.

                    separately, what is wrong with my watchdog implementation?

                      You shall not pass the interrupt handler, but the interrupt number instead. Each pin that supports interrupts can trigger a certain interrupt. The interrupt number for a pin is returned when calling digitalPinToInterrupt(). You can read more on the topic here.
                      During the execution of the sleep() function, a new interrupt handler will be installed that is used to handle the wake-from-interrupt. It is detached again, before returning from sleep().

                      About the most minimalist implementation is the following, which compiles without errors:

                      }

                          Serial.println(result);

                      How is it possible to utilise an interrupt on a otherwise sleeping node, WHEN it is awake?

                      I did not relealize before that you wanted to install your own interrupt handler for the same pin when the node is awake.
                      To achieve this, you can just attach your own handler after returning from sleep(), something like:

                      // .. same code as above ..
                      void RainINT(void)
                      {
                        // .. handle the interrupt ..
                      }
                      
                      void loop()
                      {
                          auto result = sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(MY_PIN), RISING, SLEEP_TIME_MS);
                          attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(MY_PIN), RainINT, FALLING);
                          Serial.println(result);
                      }
                      

                      Just be aware that the call to sleep() will overwrite your installed interrupt handler, so you need to reinstall it after returning from sleep().

                      separately, what is wrong with my watchdog implementation?

                      MySensors on AVR uses the watchdog to wake a sleeping node after a certain amount of time.
                      To achieve this, it reprograms the watchdog just as it does with the interrupt handler.
                      In most cases you will be just fine if you reprogram the watchdog settings when returning from sleep(), just as when reattaching the interrupt handler.

                      However, as MySensors hides you from a lot of nastiness by taking over hardware specifics, you must understand its limitations.
                      That's why I do not suggest most users to follow your solution but instead, don't use the watchdog or try to share interrupts.

                        @Yveaux

                        We seem to have been talking at a little crossed terminology.
                        When I refer to the IRQ handler I mean to reference the FUNCTION which is handling the Interrupt, when the interrupt PIN is in the required state. That's why I couldn't understand why the reference to passing the handler to the sleep function was likely to work.

                        This really brings us back to the point where I WAS using the MYSensors sleep with the interrupt pin, and interrogating as to the return (reason for waking), which in my case was "-1" even though it definitely had woken with the interrupt.
                        This implementation ( and I didn't try a minimal sketch) wasn't working for me, as I couldn't determine why it had woken.

                        This ultimately led me to my current solution, and calling in a loop, a 1000ms sleep, and breaking the loop if the interrupt had fired, having set a flag.

                        I always use a WDT on my sketches, knowing that MYSensors, stores the state before sleeping, (needing as it does the hardware timer on avr) and restores it after waking (having read this elsewhere)

                        this is the current and working sketch, , as I say I have tried using a "pure" mysensors solution, but I ONLY got "-1" for wakeupReason returned from the function.

                        wakeupReason = sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(INT_PIN), CHANGE, sleepTime);
                        

                        this is the current working code.

                        For my own education, I will build a new note to test the sleep and interrupt, and see where / how thing are not working, but that won't happen till later in the week.

                        Please note that I am still on V 2.2.0

                          @Yveaux

                          We seem to have been talking at a little crossed terminology.
                          When I refer to the IRQ handler I mean to reference the FUNCTION which is handling the Interrupt, when the interrupt PIN is in the required state. That's why I couldn't understand why the reference to passing the handler to the sleep function was likely to work.

                          This really brings us back to the point where I WAS using the MYSensors sleep with the interrupt pin, and interrogating as to the return (reason for waking), which in my case was "-1" even though it definitely had woken with the interrupt.
                          This implementation ( and I didn't try a minimal sketch) wasn't working for me, as I couldn't determine why it had woken.

                          This ultimately led me to my current solution, and calling in a loop, a 1000ms sleep, and breaking the loop if the interrupt had fired, having set a flag.

                          I always use a WDT on my sketches, knowing that MYSensors, stores the state before sleeping, (needing as it does the hardware timer on avr) and restores it after waking (having read this elsewhere)

                          this is the current and working sketch, , as I say I have tried using a "pure" mysensors solution, but I ONLY got "-1" for wakeupReason returned from the function.

                          wakeupReason = sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(INT_PIN), CHANGE, sleepTime);
                          

                          this is the current working code.

                          For my own education, I will build a new note to test the sleep and interrupt, and see where / how thing are not working, but that won't happen till later in the week.

                          Please note that I am still on V 2.2.0

                          You should have started there. I fixed some nasty race conditions in the sleep code, that iirc, were not included until 2.3.0.
                          Why don't you upgrade? These versions are on - air compatible anyway.

                            Yes, that is what the sencebender gateway was for, so I could start with an easily swappable item, and the core of the network, however you might remember that I am having issues with sencebender gateway.. with no solution in sight.
