    This sounds great!

    Do you have a code example?

    It's untested, but here you go. It's a modified version of the sketch by @Anticimex for a binary switch with two interrupts.

      I tested it when I submitted it so I can vouch for the functionality. At least for the time of submission. But the library might have changed since then of course.

      Do you feel secure today? No? Start requiring some signatures and feel better tomorrow ;)

        @martinhjelmare Thank you so much buddy for the help. I have not tested it yet. Can I use it with mysensors 1.4 version? Because I am using easyiot as controller and it uses 1.4 version.

          Yes, I don't see why it shouldn't work with version 1.4, but as I said, I haven't even tested this myself yet. Try it, and post back if you encounter problems. It'll be interesting to see what your final version will be.

          Btw, @hek, I noticed that the API says that the sleep function with two interrupts returns a bool, but looking at github it should be int8_t, which also makes sense.

          int8_t sleep(uint8_t interrupt1, uint8_t mode1, uint8_t interrupt2, uint8_t mode2, unsigned long ms=0);

            I have tried it with single interrupt and It is working good so far on my mysensors 1.4 version. In case of interrupt

            wake = gw.sleep(INTERRUPT,FALLING, SLEEP_TIME);
            

            I use wake value (wake == 1) for function related to interrupt and use else condition for function related to timer wake up.

              Here is my sketch if someone finds it useful. It uses LDR to set night mode in low light conditions and vice versa, door reed switch and PIR sensor to turn ac or dc lights with the help of two channel relay and EasyIOT as server. Interrupts perform the functions of turning lights on and off while timer wake up decides the night mode implementation. Moreover, sensor node sleeps most of its time to conserve the battery.

                @vickey Just curious, what is the purpose of this piece of code?

                 for(int i = millis(); i < (millis() + 5000); i++){
                     LightLevel = (100 - ((1023-analogRead(LDR_PIN))/10.23));
                   }

                  @martinhjelmare In your code example, the sleep function needs a non-zero last parameter, in order to wake on timer.

                  So line 104 should read:

                  wake_cause = sensor_node.sleep(PRIMARY_BUTTON_PIN-2, CHANGE, SECONDARY_BUTTON_PIN-2, CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);
                  

                  where SLEEP_TIME is in milliseconds, e.g.,

                  unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 60000;  	//  60 sec sleep time between reads (seconds * 1000 milliseconds)
                  

                  Just tested this on the binary switch sketch.

                    Thanks! Good to hear that the sketch works after that correction.

                      @AWI This code runs continuously for 5 seconds in order to get a stable reading of light using LDR, which is used to set night mode on and off.
