Controlling your World the Easy Way

Since this is my first post: great product and excellent customer support

Now to the point.

I am using Ezsbc esp32 boards with ESPHOME project. When I put esp into deep sleep with wake on timer, I usually measure around 11 uA (this is awesome!!!). However, if I add external wake, say on RTC GPIO32 the current draw jumps to 1.3 mA. Is this expected behavior? If yes, why? Or there should be no difference (in which case, I will start digging into ESPHOME, etc.).

Just in case, nothing is connected to the board, or I have NO switch connected via 10K resistor (not surprisingly, in both scenarios I measure 1.3 mA).

I tested with ESP32_SW High Supply Voltage Breakout and Development Board.

Thanks for any suggestions/hints.

I think there's another problem somewhere, most likely a floating input or a peripheral that is left on during sleep mode.
