Device is about to enter deep sleep? Set a future RTC wake time based on the scheduler. That's it.
By dramatically simplifying the code paths, I'm now on target for a full week of battery life on a charge, updating every 8 minutes during the day and 30 minutes at night. It hasn't missed a single update.

I'll keep the Github repo updated with whatever new fixes I find it needs. |
I have two Kindles working as HomeAssistant displays, but having totally different working conditions.
One Kindle PW3 serves as a Todoist display. It updates every 15 minutes during the day. The battery life is about 2 weeks. Your version is significantly better in this situation.
Another Kindle 7 serves as a public transit info display. It updates every minute during the day and I connect it to a smart power plug which controls the battery level between 20%-80%. Your version no longer allows me to control Wi-Fi, which should be constantly on in this case.
Ideally there should be a threshold time that keeps the Wi-Fi on instead of going into airplane mode.
