I found the source of battery drain on the compost sensor. It was the infernal Adafruit soil moisture sensor all along!
sleep(), deepsleep() and RTC wake were all the same. The new Chirp! moisture sensors support sleep(), so I'll try those out soon. For now, it's time to build a few production models and start composting!
deepSleep() for the compost sensor was a bust.
Left half is sleep(), right is deepSleep(). Trying out some new code now with RTCZero that sets an alarm on the real-time clock to wake up from standby mode.
