Is your feature request related to a problem?

We currently lack an example of working sleepy end device.

Describe the solution you'd like

We should have a working example, I did try to make it by myself, however I don't ever receive "ESP_ZB_COMMON_SIGNAL_CAN_SLEEP", also, I can't configure PM cause it causes a crash. Reference project: https://github.com/espressif/esp-zigbee-sdk/tree/main/examples/esp_zigbee_sleep/light_sleep

EDIT:

I actually receive the signal, however current consumption keeps super high even when I call esp_zb_sleep_now()

Hi @felipejfc, I have added a sleepy example #10551. Deep sleep is used so there is no need to set up PM.
I am closing this issue as solved. If you have any questions feel free to reopen or text here :)

Thx for that!! Super cool.
Is light sleep also supported though? For some applications, deep sleeping will be less power efficient because it takes much longer to bootstrap radio signal etc after one than if light sleeping

[P-R-O-C-H-Y]

The light sleep is currently not possible, as the Power Management would need to be enabled in sdk config which is not currently. Also what is used for Zigbee in the official light sleep example (what you have linked in the description) is the FreeRTOS tickles idle, which may bring some unexpected behavior (CONFIG_FREERTOS_USE_TICKLESS_IDLE).

We may add the PM in the future releases, when we do I will test the light sleep with Zigbee and if its doable, I will implement it and add another example :)
