Task Scheduler Sleep Implementation
I want my computer to wake up every 4th hour for an hour and then go back to sleep. For example, the computer is in sleep mode and wakes up at 12AM then goes back to sleep at 1AM. Then it will repeat this and wake up at 4AM and goes back to sleep at 5AM. A total of 6 wake ups a day. Can it be implemented in Task Scheduler? I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC.
I am doing this because my computer (Fit PC2) is not getting AC power from the grid, it's running from a lead acid battery charged by a solar panel. It is waking up so that it can record certain wildlife acoustic behaviors outdoors. It is necessary to put it to sleep while it's not recording data to conserve and extend battery life.
