title: Power Management Behaviors |
||||
sidebar_label: Power Management |
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Summary |
||||
|
||||
These page contains some of the power management behaviors currently supported by ZMK. |
||||
|
||||
## External Power Control |
||||
|
||||
The External power control behavior allows enabling or disabling the VCC power output |
||||
to save power. Some of the LEDs will consume power even in OFF state. To preserve |
||||
battery life in this scenario, some controller boards have support to disable the |
||||
external power completely. |
||||
|
||||
The following boards currently support this feature: |
||||
- nRFMicro |
||||
- nice!nano |
||||
|
||||
## External Power Control Command Defines |
||||
|
||||
External power control command defines are provided through the [`dt-bindings/zmk/ext_power.h`](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/blob/main/app/include/dt-bindings/zmk/ext_power.h) header, |
||||
which is added at the top of the keymap file: |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
#include <dt-bindings/zmk/ext_power.h> |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
This will allow you to reference the actions defined in this header such as `EXT_POWER_OFF_CMD`. |
||||
|
||||
Here is a table describing the command for each define: |
||||
|
||||
| Define | Action | Alias | |
||||
| ------------ | -------------------------------------- | -------- | |
||||
| `EXT_POWER_OFF_CMD` | Disable the external power. | `EP_OFF` | |
||||
| `EXT_POWER_ON_CMD` | Enable the external power. | `EP_ON` | |
||||
| `EXT_POWER_TOGGLE_CMD` | Toggle the external power. | `EP_TOG` | |
||||
|
||||
### Behavior Binding |
||||
|
||||
- Reference: `&ext_power` |
||||
- Parameter#1: Command, e.g `EP_ON` |
||||
|
||||
### Example: |
||||
|
||||
1. Behavior binding to enable the external power |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
&ext_power EP_ON |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
1. Behavior binding to disable the external power |
||||
|
||||

||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
