| More analysis with respect to usage of RTC memory in Deep Sleep as opposed to directly using Hibernation mode would be of interest. While Hibernation mode uses less power by not keeping the RTC recovery memory on, in Deep Sleep we could use this RTC memory to store any relevant data and maybe bypass some of the initialization mechanism. Some effort was invested in this regard, but the **RTC_DATA_ATTR** data type is not complex enough to support storing information regarding Wifi or Firebase status. Nevertheless, the tradeoff between Hibernation and Deep Sleep could be further explored. | More analysis with respect to usage of RTC memory in Deep Sleep as opposed to directly using Hibernation mode would be of interest.

| Since this project is finally intended to be installed outdoors, a platform connection through a low throughput, low data rate, low power and long distance communication protocol such as [[https://lora-alliance.org/about-lorawan/|LoRaWAN]] would be more practical compared to WiFi. | Since this project is finally intended to be installed outdoors, a platform connection through a low throughput, low data rate, low power and long distance communication protocol such as [[https://lora-alliance.org/about-lorawan/|LoRaWAN]] would be more practical compared to WiFi. | ||
