ESP32 Low-Power Optimization Sprint (Battery & Sleep)

$0.00

Extend ESP32 battery life by profiling real power draw, fixing wake leaks, and implementing deep sleep and duty cycling correctly.

Description

This sprint is for ESP32-based IoT products that work functionally but die far sooner than expected.

If your device:

  • Drains battery even in “sleep”

  • Wakes up too often or unpredictably

  • Uses Wi-Fi / BLE inefficiently

  • Needs months (not days) of standby life

This sprint turns power behavior into a controlled system, not guesswork.


What You Get

Power consumption diagnosis
Measured analysis of idle, active, transmit, and sleep currents.

Deep sleep & wake strategy fixes
Firmware changes to correctly use deep / light sleep, RTC memory, and wake sources.

Peripheral power gating recommendations
Identification of peripherals and GPIOs that leak power and how to shut them down safely.

Before / after power profile
Clear comparison showing improvements achieved and a battery-life estimate model.

Low-power checklist (ESP32-specific)
Reusable checklist your team can apply to future firmware updates and manufacturing tests.


Scope 

  • ESP32 firmware (Arduino / ESP-IDF)

  • Deep sleep & light sleep configuration

  • Wake sources (timer, GPIO, ULP, RTC)

  • Wi-Fi / BLE duty cycling strategy

  • Sensor sampling schedules and batching

  • Firmware-level fixes only

Hardware redesign or PCB respin is outside scope but can be advised separately.


  • Battery IoT products draining too fast

  • Devices that “never truly sleep”

  • Field-deployed nodes needing long standby life

  • Products approaching production or certification
