Lifecycle hook in Arduino to know if Arduino is reset or powered down
EEPROM has a limit of 100,000 write/erase cycles, so we cant do more than that

You have 1k bytes of EEPROM and they survive a minimum of 100,000 writes. So that's 102,400,000 writes you could potentially do, if you are saving one byte. Even at one write a second that would be around 3 years.
However the EEPROM page size is 4 bytes, so that is actually 25,600,000 writes you could get away with (of 4 bytes at a time). Still, that is quite a lot of writes.
A while back I tested one of my chip's EEPROM and found that it greatly exceeded the 100,000 writes specified before it starting misreading the data back.
Also, if you refrain from writing if the value hasn't changed (hopefully that's a lot of the time?) then you could probably extend the life to 100 years.


Like a function would be called before the Arduino gets switched off.

No, that's impossible. How would it possibly know it is about to be switched off? Once it is switched off, functions are hardly going to be able to run.


Is there a way to know if an Arduino is getting switched off or being reset?

Once you hit Reset the processor starts again. It doesn't run any functions &quot;just before&quot; or &quot;just after&quot; being reset (using the original variables). That would mean that the reset doesn't actually reset it.

If you are designing some gadget that lets you configure it (eg. with a volume control) then simply save the new setting to EEPROM when it is changed. This is hardly going to happen 24 hours a day.
