IoT devices with sensors and actuators are frequently deployed in environments without access to the power grid. These devices are battery powered and might make use of energy harvesting if battery lifetime is too limited. This article focuses on automatically adapting the duty cycle frequency to the predicted available solar energy so that a continuous operation of IoT applications is guaranteed. The implementation is based on a low-cost solar control board that is integrated with the Serverless IoT Framework (SIF), which provides an event-based programming paradigm for microcontroller-based IoT devices. The paper presents a case study where the IoT device sleep time is pro-actively adapted to a predicted sequence of cloudy days to guarantee continuous operation.
