The "standby" setting was released in flowOS 2.4 and updated in flowOS 2.6.
This new setting enables you to select how long your prop will continue to respond to group-on and auto-wake after you’ve turned it “off”.
When a light is grouped and/or has its auto wake enabled, it uses a tiny bit of battery “listening” for signals to wake up. This can drain 5-30% of the battery in a week (depending on the prop type. capsules are the least, vision is the most).
- To save battery life while in standby, we have changed the default from 8 days to 8 hours.
- After the selected standby period, you must press the button on every light to wake to wake it.
- Group-on and kinetic auto-wake will not work after the standby period, until you press the props' buttons.
- NOTE: when on USB, the light is always in standby, it never sleeps, and will always respond to group-on etc.
