The Atmel ATmega128rfa1, the combined MCU/transceiver chip on which your 200-series is based, supports the receiver waking the MCU upon activity. This is an important function that combines power efficiency (not requiring the MCU to continually do timed wakes to check for new packets), with responsiveness (inbound messages can be responded-to immediately rather than waiting for expiration of a timer interval).
Yet, your Snap O.S. does not support this capability, instead meaning I have to choose between responsiveness and power consumption. This is a major design omission. If there is a single reason I wouldn't presently choose Snap for my product development, this would be it.
Do you plan to implement over-the-air wake?
If so, when would that be?
