Plugin Insomnia not working

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi,
I’m using the Insomnia plugin to prevent the screen of the mobile device from falling asleep.
Running it in debug mode"ionic cordova run android" I can see the log

'@ allowSleepAgain --> success'

but the mobile phone (Xiomi Redmi 4) after some minutes falls asleep as if the plugin didn’t exist.
This is how I’m using the plugin:

    // Enabling the stand-by of the mobile phone
    if (this.platform.is('cordova')) {
      this.insomnia.keepAwake()
        .then(
          (res) => {
            console.log(`'@ allowSleepAgain --> success'`);
          },
          (err) => {
            console.log('@ allowSleepAgain --> ERROR');
          }
        );
    }

Which could be the problem according to you?

I’m currently trying to use this plugin for my project, I’m running on Ionic 3 but the plugin doesn’t seem to work :frowning: I dunno why

@ioclaudio @technobabble
deploy this inside ngOnInit()

this.insomnia.keepAwake()
    .then(()=>
    {
      console.log("the app will stay awake")
    });

to disable this
deploy this in ngOnDestroy

this.insomnia.allowSleepAgain().then(()=>{
    console.log("the app will again sleep")
  })
