How to put RFM95 to sleep

End Devices (Nodes) LMIC
1

Hallo,

i hope some one can help me with a little problem.
I’am trying to minimize my nodes power consumption. At the moment i use the Low-Power Rocketscream library to put the controller to sleep with

LowPower.powerDown(SLEEP_8S, ADC_OFF, BOD_OFF);

This is working fine for me.

Now i want to put the RFM95 to sleep. I tried with LMIC.shutdown(); but then my node stops sending for ever. So has anyone an easy example for me?

Regards,
Bjoern

searching found this

transportPowerDown()

maybe its possible to extend the lowpower lib with a RFM95 sleep part ?

LMIC already does this. I wrote that LowPower library, :slight_smile: Might be a shameless plug but here’s how I do it for a SAM21 based board:
