Using arduino and nodemcu we trying to put the chip in sleep so :

wifiSerial.println("node.dsleep(0)");


and then after delay of a few seconds, we are trying to connect again to the internet- and it DOES connects
while it should be in a sleep mode (??)

reset and gpio16 are in vcc (they should be grounded to wake up but we cant even put it to sleep)

Can anyone here, please, please help us with this strange sleep issue ???

Let me know what am i missing here :

1.pin reset and GPIO16 , are both connected to our MCU .
2.The MCU is outputs HIGH on both this pins right at the start of the program
3.than we are trying to set the module to sleep with sending him :

wifiSerial.println("node.dsleep(0, 2)");


Later ,5 second after it, i am trying to connect with the module/get ip/any other thing- and they are all working(!) .
How can they be working if the module is sleep ? i guess its not , for some strange reason .

Can anyone write down what are the exact steps to make it sleep, and than awake ??

thanks ..
