thanks for the response @jcaron. Unfortunately all the methods you suggest only work on the expansion board types, not the deepsleep shield. The only way I can see to do this is to use an exception handler. Not very pythonic, but it does work. import deepsleep ds = deepsleep.DeepSleep() try: ds.get_wake_status() shield = True except: shield = False print(shield)

@jcaron @jubbs I used my administrative powers to update the above post adding the correct code tags.

@marcozennaro Great project, thank you for sharing

@seb Yep! That fixed it. Thanks! Cheers, Thomas

Here is what it looks like mounted to a DIN rail platform. I haven't soldered the other terminals on yet.. [image: 1512701280654-sss-resized.jpg]

Did you ever find an answer to this? What is the maximum number of seconds for the go_to_sleep() method?
