    does the sleeping current come down to an acceptable level when removing the regulator? 1500uA is quite much for a battery powered node.

      The sleeping current is ~240uA.

      But it's possible to tune it a little bit more.

        hmm ok 240uA is better of course, but still far away from

        Mine sleeps at 11uA.

          @dakky Yes, this is because of the multiple sensors on my board. maybe somebody have more tuning tipps.

            Big THX,

            now i have understand how to use the si7021 :)

            Reading works great!

            But the sleeping current is very high ~1500uA

            If you got this breakout: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Industrial-High-Precision-Si7021-Humidity-Sensor-with-I2C-Interface-for-Arduino/32340228487.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_1_79_78_77_80,searchweb201644_5,searchweb201560_1 it includes a 3.3v regulator and level shifting so you can actually use the sensor with a 5v arduino but it consumes quite a bit of current (60uA in the ones I got) even when idling.

            What I did was desolder the regulator and solder a small wire to bypass it (sorry for potato quality pic).

            Then I ordered this breakout for future nodes: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-HTU21D-Temperature-and-Humidity-Sensor-Module/1970355069.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_1_79_78_77_80,searchweb201644_5,searchweb201560_1 that one doesn't seem to include any additional circuits (other than the pull up resistor and safety? resistor).

            Thanks for tip!
            Unfortunatelly quite expensive. I bought my Si7021 modules on ali for 2,9$.

            And what chip is used on this HTU21D module? Si2071 too?
            If not, what library is to be used to communicate?

              Adafruit have a library for the htu21d which works well with Mysensors
