    Hy guys; So sorry but the procedure ran just once :-/
    When I reproammed my soldred Pro-Minis (via the radio socket + 1 air wire to the reset pin) none was running as expected; The issue was a kind of permanent reboot..????
    I tried to burn the MinCore bootloader and load my sketch into several brand new boards and the result was the same...
    So I simplified and simplified again the sketches until this one:

    
    /*This sketch is cycling wether you comment MY-DEBUG.....
    SERIAL MONITOR report: 
              2021-04-04 17:20:04.426 Status: MySensors: Node: 20, Sketch Name: Temperature Sensor Test

              .

    ......or running as it should do if you uncomment MY-DEBUG

        float (temperature) = sensors.getTempCByIndex(0);   // acquisition du résultat

    I have included the Domoticz log in the 1st one and the serial monitor report for the 2nd.

    You can see, if "delay(xxx)" is in use, all's Okay, but if "sleep(xxx) is employed, the sketch is cycling in both sketches....
    What is happening?

    @Gilles-BILLARD what pro minis are you using? The 3v3 version only goes to 57600 baud, so 115200 is likely too much

      NB: On the Sérial monitor, only the last line matters

      One more point: Once the Pro-Minis are burnt with MiniCore library, I'm not able to revert on standard AVR bootloader; They are somehow bricked on MiniCore bootloader

        Update: Today, using Arduino UNO as ISP (instead of a ProMini as ISP), I was able to "unbrick" one Pro-Mini and revert to standard AVR bootloader

          @Yveaux Yes Yveaux, you're probably righ, but, if I use AVR bootloader and Test Nb 2 the serial monitor says:

          @Gilles-BILLARD Something is not right with either your set up (wiring etc), settings or installation of arduino IDE/libraries.

          I just tested a 3V pro mini and was able to to back and forth freely between MiniCore and AVR bootloaders without issue. Two blinks for Minicore and one blink for AVR.

          A USB programmer is usually cheaper than an uno, so why not try one and see. That is what I use and the only difference is less cabling and only one arduino in the mix.

          In one photo you show nrf24 - are you using FOTA? Is this connected when bootloading the chip?

          The error you described a week ago about optiboot should not happen and you should not need to change anything. Try reinstalling the MiniCore library again following the instructions to the letter. Have you in any way modified your boards.txt or changed your arduino ide from default settings or installation path in any way?

            @skywatch When I try to use the red ISP (based on a FT232R ) you can see on the pictures I joined, I receive an error msg like :

            avrdude done.  Thank you
            

            That is the reason why I used or Po-Mini Or UNO as ISP.
            I tried to change and test many others drivers for my FTDI (for 2 days) unsuccessfully

            are you using FOTA? Is this connected when bootloading the chip? As you can see on one picture, in the programming section, NRF is NOT wired to the programmed Pro-Mini.
            Neither it was when I tried to reprogram the wired Pro-mini because I was using the NRF socket to acces the Arduino pins.

            .....or installation of arduino IDE/libraries I checked that as well and installed the new Adruino IDE 2.0.0 beta.... same problèms :-//

                @Gilles-BILLARD Now it is OKay with that blinks; 1 for AVR boot and 2 for MiniCore and I can revert from one to the other and vice-versa.
                ( I removed all concerning MiniCore and reload it )
                But sleep() is still giving the same issue

                    @skywatch Yes, of course;
                    I'm 67, retired, and after 9 days (part time) on this issue, I give up !
                    I am therefore torn between crushing all that stuff between between a big hammer and my anvil or to discard everything to the trash can.
                    These sensors are useless if consuming 20mA H24-7/7 because they they should normally be used outside (in my greenhouses) powered by a battery 18650 + a solar cell.

                      Can anyone let me know if he sees something wrong in that log after a Min-Core bootloader burn in a Pro-Mini 3.3v
                      (I do not!)
                      I ask because it not the same file as the 1st one (the 1st was including the nb "115200" (bauds?) and now it is "38400" )

                        skywatch: You remembered to connect the nrf before going to sleep?
                        @skywatch Yes, of course;
                        I'm 67, retired, and after 9 days (part time) on this issue, I give up !
                        I am therefore torn between crushing all that stuff between between a big hammer and my anvil or to discard everything to the trash can.
                        These sensors are useless if consuming 20mA H24-7/7 because they they should normally be used outside (in my greenhouses) powered by a battery 18650 + a solar cell.

                        @Gilles-BILLARD I understnad your frustration - I have been there myself.

                        I suggest s simple node to test with, something like the door/window sensor with just one switch.

                        Take your promini, remove leds and power regulator (or cut tracks) then burn MiniCore bootloader with 9600 baud, 3.3V, 8MHz INTERNAL, BoD DISABLED.

                        Then add the radio module (you can try another if you have it - what radio modules are you using? - A link or photo might help, there are bad ones and fakes that could be a problem for you). Load your sketch and try again.

                        You can measure the current to the whole set up and then just the radio to see if radio is not sleeping. ....

                            @Gilles-BILLARD It's in the sketch when you start serial interface. As an aside have you checked the baud rate the pro mini or uno you are using as a programmer - maybe it is 115200 and that is optimistic for a 3.3V board. Make sure the programmer is using 19200 just to be safe.

                            For inof I am using arduino ide 1.8.13 and musensors 2.3.2 with a £2 aliexpress serial prgrammer and have only encountered warnings about sck (which can safely be ignored)....

                                Ha, OKay; I've aslo supposed a pb from that, so I removed the sérial monitor and baud rate config.
                                And after the bootlaoder burning, the log is OKay.. the MEGA328P ID is also the good one and always the same for all 328

                                        Please, have a look at the time stamps:
                                        Tests vs sleep time
                                        More or less 10 seconds if sleep time >= 10 000 ms
                                        Only a little more than 3 sec if sleep time = 2 000 ms
                                        Could it help ?

                                          @skywatch said in 💬 Battery Powered Sensors:

                                          @Gilles-BILLARD I understnad your frustration - I have been there myself.

                                          I suggest s simple node to test with, something like the door/window sensor with just one switch.

                                          I did that right away and the result is....
                                          All's OKay without sleep(xxx):

                                          Présentation then 2 minutes until I change the input twice

                                          But with sleep() included...

                                          @Gilles-BILLARD Inoticed the following in the sketch you posted above...

                                            // ************Sleeping test ***************
                                              #ifdef MY_DEBUG 
                                                  delay(10000); // 10 secondes
                                              #else
                                                  sleep(10000);
                                              #endif    
                                          }
                                          

                                          Delay should be replaced by Wait in mysensors code to avoid blocking.

                                          I always went by the old saying that when you are in a hole, stop digging. I have not seen the behaviour you show before. I can only suggest that you run the EEPROMclear sketch (file>examples>mysensors>cleareepromconfig) and try again. Check the voltage to the promini is stable and the radio has the recommended capacitor. You might be surprised at the difference a good clean power supply can make.

                                          #is the gateway running on the same power supply? IS GW receiving messages? Please provide the FULL debug output on the serial monitor. That snippet doesn't help much.
