Wemos D1 Deep Sleep Problem

[Fehntjer]

Hello!

I build my first project with a Wemos D1, and the functions are usually working. The Wemos should be started with a trigger pulse, and rest of the time it should be in deep sleep. The trigger pulse is coming from a controller and is connected to the reset input with an optocoupler. But it won`t work every time, even if the trigger signal is send out from the controller. Programmed settings are to stay wake for 40 seconds to send an http command. Often the led lights up, the power consumption increases to 30mA before the Wemos goes back to sleep after 5 to 10 seconds without sending the http command. If it works like it should and the command gets executed, the power consumption increases to 70mA. Does anybody know why this happens?

First thing to check is whether Deep Sleep Alternative is enabled in the Advanced settings. This is a new standard for a deep sleep, default works very randomly

Yes, Deep Sleep Alternative is enabled in the Advanced settings

Do you have a chance to connect a serial console to the Wemos to see what's going on?

No, sorry
