|

|

Repeaters on the Seeed XIAO ESP32-S3 and the UnitEng Station G2 now put the processor into light
|
||||
sleep between events, like the Heltec boards already do. The radio keeps listening, and a received
|
||||
packet wakes the node. It is on by default; `powersaving off` keeps the node awake and
|
||||
`powersaving on` allows sleep again, and the setting is kept across reboots. `get pm` shows how
|
||||
much of the time the node is asleep.
|
||||
|
||||
This is new on both boards, and the Station G2 most of all: reports of how it behaves are welcome.
