Battery Attiny85 Door/Window wireless Sensor



  • Has anyone successfully gotten an Attiny85 and nRF24l01+ to power down? I can get the Attiny85 to sleep which saves 4 to 5 ma but I can't seem to come up with right combo to put the nRF24l01+ in power down mode. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the "Mysensor" library that I must use for the Attiny, which is a condensed version so it will load in the Attiny85.
    Here is my code so far for this sensor. The total current draw is 16.6 ma when awake and 12.3 ma when sleep so if I could get the nRF24l01+ to power down the total current would be way lower.
    Any ideas that might be added to sketch to make this happen?

  • Did you try changing nrf24l01+? There is a problem with a few fake ones
