Smarter deep sleep features for battery sensors

iBobik opened this issue · comments

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like
Current deep_sleep component is too dump for optimal power consumption.

  • It does not sync wake cycle with sensors update_interval
  • Native API is not effective for mostly disconnected device
  • Is wake up too long, should go to sleep immediately after data send
  • Docs does not tell about this caveats

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:
I can script all this like in this article, but it could be easier to code all this in clean Arduino IDE than hasking esphome yaml for things it was not intended to do.
