Hi, thanks for trying my code out, glad it works for you.
I'm aware of short battery life - I think that T-Beam does not allow to shut down the GPS, I suppose it drains vast majority of the battery capacity. :(
About the Cayenne app on phone - as far as I remember it worked OK for me, if it doesn't work for you, the best idea would be to write to Cayenne support about that.

I found this repository
https://github.com/JoepSchyns/Low_power_TTGO_T-beam
and although the code isn't the prettiest, it looks promising for shutting down the GPS and bringing ESP32 into deep sleep.

I think this should be part of this project, as the short battery life is the main issue.
