Sleep vs gw.sleep

[bloody2k]

Hi

This should be a relative easy question for those who know the answer, but I can't find it myself. Neither here, the API or google.

What is the difference between sleep() and gw.sleep(), and when should I use which function?

Thanks

Welcome to the MySensors community @bloody2k !

sleep() is for MySensors 2.0 and later. gw.sleep() is for MySensors 1.x.

Thank you very much!

That would explain why I couldn't find the difference, since they do the same thing.

@bloody2k yup :-D

Before opening a new thread I would like to attach my question to this one.

I use sleep quite a lot and got the feeling that quite a lot of the time the first message sent after "waking" up is getting lost .. so here is my question:

What do I have to do after hitting sleep? I already noticed that sleep is a combination of:

transportPowerDown();

and

hwSleep

If there is nothing I have to do this might be pure imagination and I would have to track down the issue further. Thanks in advance!

@cimba007 you shouldn't have to do anything else. There is a bug in 2.0 that can cause problems if the node goes back to sleep too soon after sending a message though. https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/558 It is fixed in the development branch and will be included in 2.0.1.

This might be the case. Thanks for the info .. i am looking forward to test it ;-)
