DNT24 Integration Guide - 10/19/11
5.6 Configuring Sleep Mode
Sleep mode can be used in conjunction with I/O reporting to
greatly extend
battery life on DNT24 remotes.
At least one I/O report trigger must be enabled to allow sleep mode to be used. Note that the
base and routers cannot be configured for sleep mode.
1. Enable sleep mode as desired in each remote by setting the
SleepModeEn
parameter in Bank 0 to 1.
2. Configure the timeout for a remote to attempt to link to its parent when triggered awake. This is done
by setting the
WakeLinkTimeout
parameter in Bank 0. The default timeout is 5 seconds.
3. Configure the maximum time a remote in sleep mode will remain awake following linking, receiving an
ACK, processing a message addressed to it, or receiving a serial or SPI message by setting the
Wake-ResponseTime
parameter. The default response time is 500 ms. Note that the setting of this
parameter is overridden by some
GpioEdgeTrigger
parameter settings.
