Hello all,
I am implementing a contact-less sensor using NodeMCU-12E connecting with MLX90614. I am using the Adafruit MLX90614 library which works well.
The sensor is expected to run for long time about one year because the functionality of the sensor is to take reading and send it to a cloud every 10 minutes.
Since the sensor runs with a battery so the power consumption is the issue. I used deep sleep method to save power but the problem is while deep seeping the sensor consumes about 1.6mA.
According to the MLX90614 datasheet the component can enter to sleep mode but I do not know how to do this.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
