ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello,

I have been trying to figure this out for a while with not much luck. I would like to wake up the ESP8266 from the deep sleep mode using a reed switch (or any switch). The problem is that the reed switch (or any switch) may generate multiple "events" and I need to reset the ESP-12E only once.

Is there a way to ignore all subsequent LOW signals applied to the RST Pin until the system is in the deep sleep mode again?

Thank you.

Are you talking about the debouncing problem? For example, you press a switch once but the microcontroller detects two presses? This problem can be solved by adding a small delay to the code.

You'll need to do this with some outboard circuitry - the simplest would be to wire one of the pins to defeat the effect of the button while the ESP8266 is awake.

You may even be able to find a pin that the ESP itself turns high/low while it's awake and use that.

Thank you for replying. I would love to know how to wire of the pins to defeat the effect of the reed switch pulling the RST pin LOW.
