Help with Hibernation

I’m using the following code to put my Hydra to sleep:

            PowerState.MaximumTimeToActive = new TimeSpan(TimeSpan.TicksPerDay);
            PowerState.Sleep(SleepLevel.DeepSleep, HardwareEvent.GeneralPurpose);

But no matter what I do (including removing USB and running of power only, in case USB was somehow triggering), the Hydra wakes up approx. every 62 seconds.

What I want is it to not wake up until I key is actually pressed. Little help?

If I recall correctly, I believe that the sleep function has been commented out.

Sorry for digging out this old thread but I have similar problems with my hydra. If I put them to deep sleep the power consumption goes down from 3.5W to 2.7W which is not a real power saving mode…
Does the Hydra support DeepSleep?

Low power is not supported on Hydra, I think.

So there no power saving mode at all on hydra?

Yes, the function you are calling just put the cpu in sleep state if nothing to do, so a bit lower consumption. That is all hydra does. I think.

Thanks for the information.
