sommeil-profond.ino
In deep sleep the SoC draws a few microamps: wake by the minute or by button, and a battery lasts months. RTC_NOINIT_ATTR keeps the wake counter across the reset.
Hardware required
An ESP32-C6 board (RISC-V 160 MHz, Wi-Fi 6 + BLE 5 + 802.15.4) such as a DevKitC-1, powered over USB. None to test; button on GPIO0 to wake manually (careful: GPIO0 is also the bootloader pin).
Wiring
Button GPIO0 to GND. On a battery build, remove the USB-serial bridge, which sips more than the sleeping SoC.
How it works
esp_sleep_enable_timer_wakeup arms the RTC clock, ext0 watches a level; esp_deep_sleep_start powers everything else down. On wake the program restarts at setup() — RAM variables are lost except RTC attributes. In the Arduino IDE (recent esp32 package), select « ESP32C6 Dev Module » then Upload; for Zigbee/Thread use ESP-IDF (idf.py set-target esp32c6).
Going further
Wake on a sensor (ext1 across several pins), or sleep between two DHT reads from the dedicated sketch.
