ESP32 has the ability to take advantage of many energy saving modes, but when you set sleep you also lose the status of the pins, but there is a way to preserve it and we will analyze it. Furthermore, the esp32 has powerful features such as the UPL a low-power processor that can wake you up in case of need.

Let’s set the sleep mode, disable the WiFi and scale the frequency to the CPU.
