12/15/2022, 9:00 AMThe device goes to deep sleep whenever it has nothing to do.

12/15/2022, 9:01 AMThings to do are:
- connecting to the server (max offline)
- running user programs (defined by their specification)

12/15/2022, 9:03 AMIf you set max offline to more than 1 minutes and install an application with interval 1 minute it will deep sleep one minute after each invocation.

12/15/2022, 9:03 AMDon't remember if the run time of the application is added or not.

12/15/2022, 9:05 AMThank you for the answer. So I can't directly make it enter deep sleep? There's no method or anything I can use for it?

12/15/2022, 9:07 AMI can have another look, but usually the specification was good enough for all scenarios.
floitsch
12/15/2022, 9:08 AMAny particular use case you have in mind?

12/15/2022, 9:11 AMIt was mainly so I had a some more control. My intention was to use it to make my device reset. And because I saw it was used in the weather station tutorial in the documentation.

12/15/2022, 9:13 AMWith v1 you would just write into the specification that it should run every 15s.

12/15/2022, 9:14 AMIf you set the interval to something small you could just return from the program with
exit
