Can I somehow make the ESP32 enter deep sleep for a specified amount of time?

on v1 or v2?

v1

The device goes to deep sleep whenever it has nothing to do.

Things to do are:
- connecting to the server (max offline)
- running user programs (defined by their specification)
- connecting to the server (max offline)
- running user programs (defined by their specification)

If you set max offline to more than 1 minutes and install an application with interval 1 minute it will deep sleep one minute after each invocation.

Don't remember if the run time of the application is added or not.

Thank you for the answer. So I can't directly make it enter deep sleep? There's no method or anything I can use for it?
floitsch 12/15/2022 09:06 AM
You can't. Programs run independently and having one program turn off the device would violate that.

I can have another look, but usually the specification was good enough for all scenarios.
floitsch 12/15/2022 09:08 AM
Any particular use case you have in mind?

It was mainly so I had a some more control. My intention was to use it to make my device reset. And because I saw it was used in the weather station tutorial in the documentation.

With v1 you would just write into the specification that it should run every 15s.
floitsch 12/15/2022 09:14 AM
If you set the interval to something small you could just return from the program with
