Why is my Node-S is not sampling as frequently as expected?

If your Node-S is reporting less often than you expected, the cause is usually something explainable, like battery-saving mode kicking in during low light. Here are the resources to track it down.

Where to look

• How the Node-S samples and reports: including battery-saving mode, which slows sampling to preserve charge in low-light conditions.
• The Device Status Details page: to review a Node's operational status. From there:
  • The full list of device alarms.
  • How to troubleshoot a Late Reading alarm.

What's next

• Understand the Node-S sampling frequency.
• Troubleshoot Power, Battery, and Charging alarms.
