I'm using the default sketch (from the workshop ).
Every 300 ms the sensors are read.
Every 2nd cycle the jeenode reports to the jeelink.
PIR movements are reported direct
If i increase the report period, will that save battery consumption?

Re: Jeelabs Room board - power usage
Absolutely.
Don't know how the sketch works exactly, but you could start with motion triggering an interrupt to get the Arduino out of sleep.
And you could do a periodic keep-alive.
With 300 ms the batteries won't last very long I guess...

Hi Robert,
Little type.. 300 are tents of seconds, so basicly every minute an update is send.
I don't need every minute an update of light/temp/humidity. Once every 5 minutes would be more then enough I guess
Maybe for the bathroom a shorter period would be better as soon as i have the Vent connected to homeseer.

Hello, would you like to share your sketch? I lost mine somehow....

Hey,
I used the lowpower version from: http://jeelabs.net/pub/wk103/HomeSeer/Workshop/JeeNode/
I only had to swap the portnumbers.
