ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi guys.
I have an esp8266 module that at as wireless switch.
I have a TCP server on the esp module and it listen to the request and response.
I applied wifi - light sleep mode to enable power saving.
my question is : is there a possibility to put the device to deep sleep and wake it with a magic packet ( and then send him the command).
or basically does the esp 8266 respond to wireless magic packet and wake up from deep sleep?

Regards

AFAIK deep sleep disables everything but RTC so there is no way to read magic package from radio since it's off.

meaning the only way to wake up is going in to sleep using the dsleep(timeInNano)?

Maybe you guys have any other idea on how to save power in this situation?
meaning in a situation the Esp8266 is waiting for command from the network
