Thanks, Iāll keep that in mind
Can you share your button code from ha?
Which button do you mean?
I thought you were trying to add a button to the dashboard to stop deepsleep? Iām trying to figure out how to prevent my sensor node from going to sleep too do OTA updates when needed.

yeah my main way is based on this approach. You toggle on a HA control and next time it wakes and connects, it will stay awake.
The HA config is similar to this (think Iāve changed the name).
input_boolean:
keep_esps_awake_switch_ha:

Iāll maintain my master config here. May not maintain it well though.

This post is for content relating to itās operation.
Iāll start with a high level description. It essentially works very similar to other irrigation and deep sleep projects projects around:
- Wake up from deep sleep periodically and see if the plant needs water. If so, water, if not, back to sleep.
- Donāt water the plant if battery is low, instead, go back to sleep for a long time and hope you get recharged on next wake.
- Donāt water the plant if the tank level is low.
- The watering regime might be described as āincremental drip-feed towards an upper target, followed by drying towards a lower thresholdā. This lets the plant dry out a bit, then āgives it a good water, but slowly rather than all at onceāā¦ I still need to monitor that this is working ok.
- The light sensor is handy for checking how much light both the plant and the solar panel is getting.

Basically I built my first voltage divider.
Thereās some details over here for it actually. But itāll try to remember to tidy it up and add something here for it. It was harder to find simple info for it than expected. My final solution changed slightly to whatās in this link.
I moved to using 2 x 300kOhm resistors. Itās a simpler set-up. Thereās also a few comments in my config about the resistors used and scaling/conversions.

Battery Monitoring
Summary:
- I made my first voltage divider. You need two resistors. I landed on 2 x 300kā¦
- Wire them like below. I think itās right. (Edit, Its not quite right as battery power should go to esp battery terminal) wanted to keep the diagram simple and didnāt want to draw up my full wiring yet. You just add extra wires for power and ground as you need for your other devices. Edit: best to see the wiring diagram now.
Longer version and resources:
- Article: ESP8266 battery level meter | ezContents blog 37,
- Thread: ESPHome Battery Level Sensor 48,
- Some help/checks from @ssieb over on Discord ,
From what I could understand the sum of the resistors should be high and the divided voltage should be < 2.4V
Which led me to my 2 x 300kā¦ selection. I also like this āsymmetricā design. Doesnāt matter which way you wire it.

@Mahko_Mahko, Iām trying to learn from your code, but I canāt really make it work. Iām focusing on the deep sleep logic and Iām trying to understand how it works.
as you can see my esp is ignoring the button to prevent deep sleep and the fact to sleep during the night, it constantly follows the cycle defined by the variables, in my case 30min sleep, 30min run
run_duration: 30min
sleep_duration: 30min
can you help me to understand what Iām missing?

I had to work through some buggyness too at a few points.
Do you have any sensors with a high update_interval (say 1sec). Or are you managing the updates manually?
Try pulling them back to say 5sec for debugging.
Can you see the home assistant sensor being imported in the ESPHOME logs? Try making this NOT internal and check if it comes back re-imported into HA ok. So that it is clear everyone is hearing each other.
I also seem to recall sometimes the input Boolean only seemed to start working once you had toggled it from HA once the esp was online (once). So maybe fiddle with that.
In summary, Iām not sure. Mine is working great but I recall having to work through weird issues.
did you get any success? Have the same issue
@Mar1us, almost
Iām now able to prevent deep sleep with the button, but when It enters in deep sleep on sunset it never resume

@Mar1us thank you, because after your message I provided more love to the code; it seems that now it works
- The button to suspend deep sleep works
- The input to control the deep sleep duration and the delay duration are working
- The sunset condition seems ok (testing now)
essentially this is the behavior:
if the prevent deep sleep is on, the esp remains up
if the prevent deep sleep is off, it goes in deep sleep for the amount of minutes defined by the input sleep duration, then the script is delayed for the amount of time defined by the input number script delat duration. This is the normal condition, when the sun is below the horizontal then the esp goes in deep sleep until the next sunrise. (in order to calculate the sunst/sunrise duration I used the SUN2 component)
here the full code, testing it right now.
any feedback/comments is really apprecated

thank you so much, that helped me a lot
Hi Folks, I would like to have your opinion here
Deep sleep cycle it fine to reduce the power consumption, but the ESP must remain on during the watering cycle.
how you calculated the battery capacity/pump consumption/solar panel?
Iām looking around to select the hw
I think Andreas Spiess has done good videos on this (at least the solar and battery parts). You might need to search a bit on his channel.
For the pump youād prob just measure current with a multimeter?
wow, what a good guidelines i found here. thank you!
i have one issue stillā¦ how is possible to make component update for uart_bus?
Typically you use component.update on the actual sensor.
