Sleep modes

Putting XBee modules into a temporary sleep state preserves battery life when using wireless networks. DigiMesh modules support five sleep modes that are classified as synchronous or asynchronous.

Note Asynchronous sleep modes should not be used in a synchronous sleeping network, and vice versa.

Synchronous sleep modes

Synchronous modes allow all XBee modules to sleep and wake at the same time.

Asynchronous sleep modes

Asynchronous modes allow you to control the sleep state of a single XBee module.
