First of all, sorry for my english, I'm from the Netherlands.
For a project I'm working with a ESP8266 ESP-12E and 1 sensor, I want to have the ESP in deep sleep mode for low power consumption.

I want the ESP to be in deep sleep for +- 5 mins, so that would mean ESP.deepSleep(us, mode) andGPIO16 to RST right? The sensor is only active when it is above a set threshold, can I also connect the sensor to RST so the ESP can wakeup before the 5 mins has passed?

And to prevend the sensor from resetting the ESP while it is running, would it be good to connect GPIO to reset and set it HIGH while the ESP is running?

I wired D0 to RST on the NodeMCU. Change this line as needed:
system_deep_sleep(10000000); // deep sleep for 10 seconds

Code: Select allextern "C" {
#include "user_interface.h"
}

// #include "./MyInclude.h"

void setup() {
  rst_info *rsti;
  Serial.begin(115200);
  rsti = ESP.getResetInfoPtr();
  Serial.println("\r\nStart...");
  Serial.println(String("ResetInfo.reason = ") + rsti->reason);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  Serial.println("going to sleep now...");
  system_deep_sleep_set_option(0);
  system_deep_sleep(10000000);            // deep sleep for 10 seconds
  delay(1000);
}
