20170111 - device online for 1 min @0948 - someone on roof?
stephen@0
     3
20170112 - device offline at 1524, surprised if that's power? check
stephen@0
     4
20170113 - device work @ 0933 briefly - see early-wake-theory below
stephen@15
     5
           early-wake-theory:
stephen@15
     6
            if device goes below 11.1V while sleeping then it won't wake on
stephen@15
     7
            the RTC but will wake when the solar charger sees 12V again,
stephen@15
     8
            at which point it will see that it ought be asleep unti 1100
stephen@15
     9
            and so it dozes until then - possibly means that we're keeping
stephen@15
    10
            the kerlink up after the eurotech has gone to sleep, otherwise
stephen@15
    11
            why is the voltage still dropping?
stephen@15
    12
            - I modified /etc/stopproc.sh to stop pbm and call ker-off
stephen@15
    13
20170124 - took that out again, added code to pbm binary
stephen@15
    14
           looks like that fix didn't do it, need to test
stephen@15
    15
           some more when at node Monday
stephen@10
    16
20170118 - fixed kerlink not powering off - both s/w and wiring!
stephen@10
    17
           we re-charged unit from mains around 1400-1430, after
stephen@10
    18
           that back to solar, hopefully voltage on 19th will
stephen@10
    19
           behave
stephen@13
    20
20170124 - validated that ker-off does remove voltage from kerlink
stephen@13
    21
           power input; found a code path in pbm that wasn't 
stephen@13
    22
           calling ker-off, testing of that needs to be finished
stephen@13
    23
           when device has power again. Note: left device with
stephen@13
    24
           sleeping only set from 1440 to 1455 so it'll wake 
stephen@13
    25
           early on 25th (not likely to get more power today
stephen@13
    26
           due to sun angle)
stephen@14
    27
20170125 - eek, I'd put the ker-off code in the wrong place;-)
stephen@14
    28
           fixed now I think finally
stephen@15
    29
20170126 - seems to have worked out - node went down @1600
stephen@15
    30
           on 25th with battery @12.52V, awoke on schedule 
stephen@15
    31
           @1102 on 26th with battery @12.49V and weather was
stephen@15
    32
           overcast all morning (that I saw:-) on the 26th,
stephen@15
    33
           node is drawing about 0.9-1.1A around 11am
stephen@15
    34
           probably only safe to fully believe stats from
stephen@15
    35
           here on, though some info can be gleaned from
stephen@15
    36
           earlier data no doubt
stephen@17
    37
20170127 - there was a wake @ 10:02 - might be ok though, node
stephen@17
    38
           went into long standby at 1459 on the 26th so was
stephen@17
    39
           close to out of power (11.34V)
stephen@18
    40
20170128 - looks like basil was rebooted about 17 hours ago 
stephen@18
    41
           (around 1800 on the 27th?) (down is also down)
stephen@18
    42
           so vpn wasn't up - not sure if client will connect
stephen@18
    43
           before it's next reboot, hasn't so far after 5
stephen@18
    44
           mins (vpn manually restarted @ 1140) I'm guessing
stephen@18
    45
           there was a power off event
stephen@18
    46
20170201 - basil reboot: there was a bridge0 that was ifup'd
stephen@18
    47
           and that might be interfering somehow, took that
stephen@18
    48
           down, we'll see @ 1100 if that helps, if not, I'll
stephen@18
    49
           wanna go check unit physically (also could be 
stephen@18
    50
           SIM card crap, check that too - SIM seems ok, has
stephen@18
    51
           7GB and 8 days left) 
stephen@18
    52
           Turns out that the SIM was not ok - the "add on"
stephen@18
    53
           thing is not being used and the balance was down
stephen@18
    54
           to 0.65c or actually maybe negative. Topped the
stephen@18
    55
           fecker up.
stephen@18
    56
           Clock was still on jan 29 today, odd - maybe
stephen@18
    57
           rtc isn't working right? also that might interact
stephen@18
    58
           with vpn, not sure - actually no, it was that
stephen@18
    59
           the node thought it was 1600 on the 29th so it
stephen@18
    60
           went to sleep, wonder when it'd have awoken if
stephen@18
    61
           Kerry hadn't hit the physical switch?
stephen@18
    62
           I have the kerlink boottimes.txt that could be
stephen@18
    63
           used to fix the boot times and hence battery
stephen@18
    64
           log of the loradtn node if we want
stephen@19
    65
20170202 - odd timing - node woke @1047 - is power still being
stephen@19
    66
           consumed?
stephen@19
    67
           also odd vpn pattern - new client IPs every few
stephen@19
    68
           minutes, check node's syslog later
stephen@19
    69
20170206 - looks nominal at the moment, nice weekend weather
stephen@19
    70
           helps:-)
