Conditions that result in car sleeping

[Mister H]

What conditions cause the car to sleep? Mine takes between 26 and 62 seconds to wake up. That’s longer than waking me up. Is there any way to speed this up?

It falls asleep when there is nobody inside the vehicle and the vehicle is locked. It usually takes about 30-60 seconds.

You can make the waking faster (at the expense of battery life) by either using keep/creature comfort mode, or by remotely starting the climate, so the car is already awake.

How does this relate or compare to the deep sleep reset that is sometimes mentioned?

Is that achieved once the car is in this normal sleep state after a minute or so, or does it take 5 to 10 minutes, or 30 minutes or more—I’ve seen all three timelines mentioned, and I’ve been wondering what the difference is between them. If any!

Thanks for any clues…

The very same. These are the sleep states: SLEEP, WINK, SLEEP_CHARGE, SLEEP_UPDATE. There are also 6-7 other non-sleep states; you can find these all in the GitHub repo for the Python bindings for the API.

You want SLEEP. It will, once locked, go into WINK first. WINK is not a SLEEP. Once it is in the SLEEP state, you’re good and can power it up again.

You can track the state via Home Assistant (or testmycode.cc). It usually takes no longer than 60 seconds, but there are a various number of things that can keep it awake.

Ha! I’m nowhere near this far under the tech hood of our world! Though I have indeed heard of many of these words…..

Is there any clear indication when it has transitioned from WINK to SLEEP?

And from your response, I gather that once it does hit SLEEP, that captures whatever reset qualities we might be aiming for.

(someone somewhere mentioned turning on the blinker, and when that shuts off you know it’s really in sleep….. but that does seem to happen very quickly, so it may be a figment)

Haha fair enough.

Nope, other than the state change via the API; that's why I was suggesting you use Home Assistant; another alternative that used to work but I'm not sure still does, is to turn on a blinker, and then lock the car. The blinker turns off once the car falls asleep.

I don't know if that's the case for Gravity though, as I haven't tried it.

Correct.

Ah yeah, that works for Air, but I'm not sure it works for Gravity.
