I was excited to stumble on the Arduino IoT Cloud scheduler today, I'm hoping if someone familiar with it can answer a question for me.
I have a cloud program that monitors our water supply. Because we are on metered internet I can't keep it connected to the cloud 24/7. What I want to do is connect to the cloud every hour, read the values, then disconnect. I know you can use the scheduler to turn on and off things, but can it be used just to read values and send them on?
Hi!
Scheduler is not needed for this application.
You can use sleep mode of an ESP for example and wake up the board every X time to send data then go back to sleep.
Here you can find more details about how to use sleep mode.
Best regards.
Thanks Fernando. Does that mean that I can tell the board to disconnect and go to sleep, then reconnect at a predetermined time?
Yes!
