Low-Power by Rock Scream No matching function

Development Libraries
1

I am writing a code for a self contain soil moisture sensor box using Arduino Nano. I am a completely armature at Arduino and have been coasting though my previous project with Youtube videos and Wokwi publicly available projects

The gist is that I am trying the Arduino IDE keeps giving me errors saying that TIMER1_0N is not recognized by the library even if I copied the text straight from the library repository.

I am stuck because this project needs the TIMER function to be on in the sleep. To wake up the Arduino every hour to take sensor readings.

I know the code us extremely messy and probably is full of errors but at this moment I really need the TIMER function to work so please if anyone have any advice they can give I will be very grateful.

Thank you for your time in advance

this is the error message

The code was written for a different version of the library you have chosen to use. Look for a library that matches the code, or change the code to match the library you are using.

Unfortunately, it is often that case that two different Arduino libraries have the same name.

I think I found a work around. I now use the idle sleep instead of deepsleep. everything is turn off accept adc and timer1. I have other problems at the moment but this is not the topic for it.

Thank you for the responds I appreciate it!
