Settings

Setting	Acceptable Values	Default	Description
charge_current	MAUnset, MA100, MA190, MA280, MA360, MA450, MA550, MA630, MA700, MA780, MA880, MA960, MA1000, MA1080, MA1160, MA1240, MA1320:	MAUnset	Sets the current of the battery charger
is_low_power	true, false	false	If set, we are powered from a low-current source (i.e. solar), so even if it looks like we have power flowing in we should try to minimize power consumption as much as possible. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SET THIS IF YOU'VE set is_router (it is implied in that case).
is_router	true, false	false	Are we operating as a router. Changes behavior in the following ways: The device will only sleep for critically low battery level (i.e. always tries to stay alive for the mesh) In the future routing decisions will preferentially route packets through nodes with this attribute (because assumed good line of sight)
ls_secs	integer (seconds)	0 (see note)	Power management state machine option. See the power page for details. 0 for default of 3600
mesh_sds_timeout_secs	integer (seconds)	0	Power management state machine option. See the power page for details. 0 for default of two hours, MAXUINT for disabled
min_wake_secs	integer (seconds)	0	Power management state machine option. See the power pagefor details. 0 for default of 10 seconds
phone_sds_timeout_sec	integer (seconds)	0	Power management state machine option. See the power page for details. 0 for default of two hours, MAXUINT for disabled
phone_timeout_secs	integer (seconds)	0	Power management state machine option. See the power page for details. 0 for default of 15 minutes
screen_on_secs	integer (seconds)	0	Power management state machine option. See the power page for details. 0 for default of one minute
sds_secs	integer (seconds)	0	Power management state machine option. See the power page for details. 0 for default of one year
send_owner_interval	integer (seconds)	4	Send our owner info at least this often (also we always send once at boot - to rejoin the mesh)
wait_bluetooth_secs	integer (seconds)	0	Power management state machine option. See the power page for details. 0 for default of 1 minute

:::note When you the following settings to 0 they assume the following defaults:

• ls_secs: 1 hour
• mesh_sds_timeout_secs: 2 hours
• min_wake_secs: 10 seconds
• phone_sds_timeout_sec: 2 hours
• phone_timeout_secs: 15 minutes
• screen_on_secs: 1 minute
• sds_secs: 1 year
• wait_bluetooth_secs: 1 minute :::

charge_current

Sets the current of the battery charger

is_low_power

If set, we are powered from a low-current source (i.e. solar), so even if it looks like we have power flowing in we should try to minimize power consumption as much as possible. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SET THIS IF YOU'VE set is_router (it is implied in that case).

is_router

Are we operating as a router. Changes behavior in the following ways: The device will only sleep for critically low battery level (i.e. always tries to stay alive for the mesh) In the future routing decisions will preferentially route packets through nodes with this attribute (because assumed good line of sight)

ls_secs

Power management state machine option. See the power page for details. 0 for default of 3600
