@jmarcelino I've tested this now (removed lte = LTE() and lte.deinit() ) and the peak is still there. The device goes into deep sleep, but like before the current rises quickly to about 200 mA for a couple of seconds before it goes into deep sleep. I also find it strange that it doesn't happen the first time the device goes into deep sleep, but all consecutive runs. The first time now, since I don't deinit() LTE the current is at about 200 mA and drops down to deep sleep. Then when waking up it is around 60-70 mA when measuring and then peaks to 200 right before deep sleep.

@jcaron Thanks for your reply. 1.) I would say everything below 5 seconds is acceptable. 2. / 3.) This question is hard to answer, since I will try the device with different types of applications so the capacity of the batteries will strongly vary. The battery life should be as long as possible. I also found the machine.idle and machine.sleep in http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/wipy/library/machine.html. Given the description machine.sleep should work if I trigger the LoPy through Wifi. Is that correct? Thanks in advance.
