⚡ Power consumption

The following page deals with the energy balance of the individual components.

The ESP32 has different modes to manage its power consumption. These modes are listed here:

Mode	Power Consumption	Deactivated Component
Active Mode	160 ~ 260 mA	None
Active Mode only Listening	80 ~ 90 mA	Only Listening
Modem Sleep	3 ~ 20 mA	WiFi / BlueTooth / Radio / Peripherals
Light Sleep	0.8 mA	WiFi / BlueTooth / Radio / Peripherals [ESP32Core Paused]
Deep Sleep	10 µA	WiFi / BlueTooth / Radio / Peripherals / ESP32Core

The following energy sources can be used:

Power Source	Power	Time running (Modem Sleep)	Time running (Deep Sleep)
AA	~ 3000 mAh	150h	300000h
AAA	~ 1100 mAh	55h	110000h
CR2450	560 mAh	28h	56000h (6 Years)

However, only the deep sleep is taken into consideration here. It must still be measured how much energy is consumed to send/receive 4 requests per day. Likewise, the energy consumption of the humidity sensor has not yet been included here.
