Remove the Action “Custom\_Weather\_Icon”. This overwrites the Weather icon set by device itself based on Action Wheater\_Text. Or add “disable” as value to that card ---

Make sure you disable the custom weather icon by using that card with value “disable” once in a single call to the display. ---

> here is no action card to trigger deep\_sleep yourself. Follow the example in chapter 4 of the [user guide](https://github.com/sebyldino/Homey_e-paper/blob/main/Guides/User%20guide.pdf). That way all 21 mandatory (for 6 fields screen layout) are updated and that triggers the screen to go to deep\_sleep 🙂 💤 > If you got error message “Flow error” (user guide page 6), the updating of fields is out of sync for e-paper to determine if it can go to sleep. Press left most button on top of screen to restart screen and from that moment your flow will be triggerd (bij paperscreenonline), send the 21 fields and the screen will go to deep\_sleep this is not working… I do not see the Zzzz symbol the battery is draining very fast. 🙂 ---

Does anybody having have this problem: - I got the screen on deep sleep. Every 6 min. it reboots and gets the new values. But this only works when it is connected to the usb with power. When I run on battery the screen doesn’t reboot/refresh. - The batterij (18650) is fully charged and gives 3,6V. Which should be enough. ---

Thanks for the work! 😉 currently only having problems with the deep sleep not functioning like i set it. (not active zzz on the screen) asking for 480sec (8min) it refreshes every 4 min now. and drains 2 \* 1800mah lipo’s in 1 day. And the weather symbols not working (stays on the homey logo). But overal nice work! ---

As tell you @Torch1969, delete your “Custom\_Weather\_Icon” card. You need to call this card just one time when/if you want to change the wether icon to a custom icon. The value of this card is saved in flash memory and recovered at each restart. Same for “Battery\_Icon” card. And if Deep sleep is enbale, you need to call all mandatory cards, here you call only values cards. This works if Deep Sleep is disable but if is enable you will get an error. If the chip is so hot, you can use a cooler like this (if you have one) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/5/c503bdf41e9229ba31ea8c310561e3fe1774bb70.png) ---
