Power Management Configuration Power Management

See Configuration Overview for instructions on how to change these settings.

Low Power States

Configuration for entering low power states when the keyboard is idle.

Kconfig

Definition file: zmk/app/Kconfig

Config Type Description Default
CONFIG_ZMK_IDLE_TIMEOUT int Milliseconds of inactivity before entering idle state 30000
CONFIG_ZMK_SLEEP bool Enable deep sleep support n
CONFIG_ZMK_IDLE_SLEEP_TIMEOUT int Milliseconds of inactivity before entering deep sleep 900000
CONFIG_ZMK_PM_SOFT_OFF bool Enable soft off functionality from the keymap or dedicated hardware n

External Power Control

Driver for enabling or disabling power to peripherals such as displays and lighting. This driver must be configured to use power management behaviors.

Kconfig

Definition file: zmk/app/Kconfig

Config Type Description Default
CONFIG_ZMK_EXT_POWER bool Enable support to control external power output y

Devicetree

Applies to: compatible = "zmk,ext-power-generic"

Property Type Description
control-gpios GPIO array List of GPIOs which should be active to enable external power
init-delay-ms int number of milliseconds to delay after initializing the driver

GPIO Key Wakeup Trigger

A device similar to a kscan which will be enabled only when the keyboard is entering soft off state. This is used to configure a GPIO key to wake the keyboard from soft off once it is pressed.

Devicetree

Applies to: compatible = "zmk,gpio-key-wakeup-trigger"

Definition file: zmk/app/dts/bindings/zmk,gpio-key-wakeup-trigger.yaml

Property Type Description
trigger phandle Phandle to a GPIO key to be used to wake from soft off
wakeup-source bool Mark this device as able to wake the keyboard
extra-gpios GPIO array :ist of GPIO pins (including the appropriate flags) to set active before going into power off

The wakeup-source property should always be present, otherwise this node is pointless. The extra-gpios property should be used to ensure the GPIO pin will trigger properly to wake the keyboard. For example, for a col2row matrix kscan, these are the column pins relevant for soft off.

Soft Off Wakeup Sources

Selects a list of devices to enable during soft off, allowing those with wakeup-source as a property to wake the keyboard.

Devicetree

Applies to: compatible = "zmk,soft-off-wakeup-sources"

Property Type Description
wakeup-sources phandle array List of devices to enable during the shutdown process to be sure they can later wake the keyboard
