ESP-NOW and modem sleep with automatic light sleep
Posted: Wed Feb 24, 2021 8:39 am
Hi!
I currently have a very low powered application where I use DFS, WiFi with modem sleep and automatic light sleep. I'm able to stay within my power budget this way. However, I'm looking into ESP-NOW to replace standard WiFi Station-connectivity.
I've used the ESP-NOW example in ESD-IDF to make a PoC, but it's drawing way to much power compared to my current WiFi solution. I can't seem to find any specific documentation confirming if ESP-NOW supports modem sleep or not.
I've set up ESP-NOW to use the ESP32 station interface. I've tried to use `esp_wifi_set_ps(WIFI_PS_MIN_MODEM)` in the same way as I currently do in the standard WiFi-solution.
Can anyone confirm if ESP-NOW supports modem sleep with automatic light sleep or not?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Hein Andre
