[Bug] SmartSleep with Payload forwarding not working?

Hello,

I have the following setup:

Node A = A node with temperature + humidity Sensor Node B = A Node with a display

Now I want to forward temperature and humidity from Node A to Node B with the “Forward payload” feature which is btw. REALLY REALLY NEAT!!! very good feature.

Node B is sleeping most of the time with smartsleep … but due to smart sleep misses the forwarded payloads. Is there maybe a bug with smartsleep?

I have enabled smart sleep on Node B:

As I see this correctly the controller might forward the values despite Node B not beeing “online”??

This function is not called when I use smartsleep

void receive(const MyMessage &message) { printmsg(message); }

If I comment it out it is working as expected.

PS: I am running 2.2.0-beta on my gateway and Node B I am using Built on 2017-05-08T08:27:47+0530

I tried this too but the list stays empty:

I would recommend to get one from waveshare as they already got the required electronic parts (mostly capacitors):

Found the mistake I guess:

After the first cycle

System.currentTimeMillis() <= (startTime + sleepWaitDuration

will evaluate to “true” and break the loop so only one message gets send.

+                //Check still do we have duration on receiver side
 +                if (sleepWaitDuration != null && (System.currentTimeMillis() <= (startTime + sleepWaitDuration))) {
 +                    break;
 +                }
