Deep sleep mode is a battery-saving feature that puts the Birdbuddy module into a very low power state overnight. During deep sleep mode, Birdbuddy will no longer take postcards or be able to stream, which should just about double its battery life.
Deep sleep mode is turned on automatically up to 1 hour after sunset and turned off up to 1 hour before sunrise, based on the feeder location you selected during the pairing process.
You can check if your device is in deep sleep mode by navigating to the Settings page. The status of your device appears as “Sleeping”, when this feature is active. Just before sunrise, you should see your device status change to "Ready for birds". Make sure to either kill the app and re-open it or swipe down on the screen to refresh it to the latest status.
Please note that if your feeder goes into deep sleep mode during the day unexpectedly, you might have selected the wrong location. The location can be changed by pressing the Settings button for your camera.
If your feeder appears to be sleeping when it shouldn't, it's most likely that the camera lost connection while in deep sleep mode. This is how you can get your Birdbuddy up and running again.
