Sensor Features

Standby Operating Mode

Open in Claude

Standby Operating Mode that can be useful for power, battery, or thermal-conscious applications of the sensor.

The operating_mode config parameter defaults to NORMAL. Set it to STANDBY and reinitialize to enter Standby mode.

Expected Sensor Behavior

Standby power draw: 5 W. The motor does not spin and the laser is off, but the sensor remains on and responsive to commands. Status reports as STANDBY.

Standby Operating Mode Examples

Use the sensor configuration endpoint to set operating_mode. A successful configuration request reinitializes the sensor automatically.

Set the sensor to Standby mode and keep it in Standby mode after the next power cycle:

$curl -X POST "http://os-991900123456.local/api/v1/sensor/config?target=persisted" \
>  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
>  --data '{"operating_mode": "STANDBY"}'

Set the sensor to Standby mode temporarily, without changing the persisted startup configuration:

$curl -X POST "http://os-991900123456.local/api/v1/sensor/config?target=active" \
>  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
>  --data '{"operating_mode": "STANDBY"}'

Return the sensor to Running mode and save that configuration:

$curl -X POST "http://os-991900123456.local/api/v1/sensor/config?target=persisted" \
>  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
>  --data '{"operating_mode": "NORMAL"}'
