ESPhome and deep sleep

ESPHome
22

I used a template in HA to normalise data coming from a weather station. Scrub out states you don’t want

23

I essentially use the method described at the below link, which uses API to prevent deep sleep from reoccurring. I haven’t fully implemented my final product, but the deep sleep/prevention works fine. It’s set to delay going back into deep sleep for 10s, and that seems to be plenty of time to connect to the api.

I haven’t played around with it enough to see how low I can get the delay to be, but 10s doesn’t seem that bad to me.

Hi, I’ve just tried to use that link - I got to this thread after trying to do the setup - exactly as described and I just get errors about not being allow to map id: when the yaml is parsed. Can you please share what you have done if it is something different?
I’m working with an esp8266 by that shouldn’t matter as I’m not getting past the binary_sensor/homeassistant config for some reason.

Relevant code below (also note that my helper boolean is created within Home Assistant, not the ESPHome YAML:

substitutions:
  device_name: water-pump-01
  name_: water_pump_01
  name_pretty: Water Pump
  # sleep parameters
  sleep_time: 10min

esphome:
  name: "${device_name}"
  platform: ESP8266
  board: esp01_1m
  on_boot:
    then:
      - script.execute: consider_deep_sleep

# --- DEEP SLEEP CONFIG ---
deep_sleep:
  id: deep_sleep_control
  sleep_duration: ${sleep_time}

# pull in Helper from Home Assistant for deep sleep config
binary_sensor:
  - platform: homeassistant
    id: prevent_deep_sleep
    name: Prevent Deep Sleep
    entity_id: input_boolean.prevent_deep_sleep

# deep sleep script
script:
  - id: consider_deep_sleep
    mode: queued
    then:
      - delay: 10s
      - if:
          condition:
            binary_sensor.is_on: prevent_deep_sleep
          then:
            - logger.log: 'Skipping sleep, per prevent_deep_sleep'
          else:
            - deep_sleep.enter: deep_sleep_control
      - script.execute: consider_deep_sleep

Hello everyone!

i need some help with deep sleep…
so i what to make doors to open at 7 in the morning and close in evening at 6.
i have “cover” to open and close doors and it already works… BUT… now i would
like to sleep between this two times…

im reading topics but i just dont get it how to set deep sleep to make it work.
(mostly is just wake up every 20min and go back to sleep after 15s)

This is what times when to open and close doors look like right now:


time:
  - platform: homeassistant       
    on_time:
      - seconds: 0
        minutes: 00
        hours: 07
        days_of_week: MON-SUN
        then:
          - cover.open: vrata_kurnik    
        
  - platform: homeassistant     
    on_time:
      - seconds: 0
        minutes: 0
        hours: 18
        days_of_week: MON-SUN
        then:
          - cover.close: vrata_kurnik

there is some more code but it is just buttons,relays and cover + stuff that
must be there…

someone may ask why… im planing to put it on battery + solar

Thanks in advance for any help :slight_smile:

You can look at deep_sleep.enter
until:

Thanks for your reply

yes i did find this… but didnt figured out where to put it and didnt find any more
detailed example… Do you mind giving me some more details? like do i just put it
in there between times i alredy have or do i need to compleatly replace what i
alredy have,…?

sorry if its a stupid question but i really cant figure it out or find what i am looking
for.

Thanks in advance

You could probably just add a delay action after this (however long it takes the cover to open) and then add the deep sleep action there too.

Similar to what I’ve done under time: here:

Thanks for your time. Your code looks very good.

for now i just did this and will test it out:

deep_sleep:
  id: deep_sleep_1
  run_duration: 30s

time:
  - platform: homeassistant     
    id: homeassistant_time

  - platform: homeassistant      
    on_time:
      - seconds: 5
        minutes: 00
        hours: 07
        days_of_week: MON-SUN
        then:
          - cover.open: vrata_kurnik   
          - delay: 25s
          - deep_sleep.enter:
             id: deep_sleep_1
             until: "18:00:00"
             time_id: homeassistant_time

  - platform: homeassistant    
    on_time:
      - seconds: 5
        minutes: 00
        hours: 18
        days_of_week: MON-SUN
        then:
          - cover.close: vrata_kurnik 
          - delay: 25s             
          - deep_sleep.enter:
             id: deep_sleep_1
             until: "07:00:00"
             time_id: homeassistant_time

will later add things if needed. would love to hear any pro tip / comment on what i have right now :slight_smile:

Thanks again
