 # Squeezelite-esp32
 
+### Sleeping
+The esp32 can be put in deep sleep mode to save some power. How much really depends on the connected periperals, so best is to do your own measures. Waking-up from deep sleep is the equivalent of a reboot, but as the chip takes a few seconds to connect, it's still an efficient process.
+
+The esp32 can enter deep sleep after an audio inactivity timeout, after a button has been pressed or after a GPIO is set to a given level. I wakes up only on GPIO levels. 
+
+The NVS parameter `sleep_config` is mostly used for setting sleep conditions
+```
+[delay=<mins>][,sleep=<gpio>[:0|1]][,wake=<gpio>[:0|1][|<gpio>[:0|1]...]
+```
+- delay is in **minutes**
+- sleep is the GPIO that will put the system into sleep and it can be a level 0 or 1
+- wake is a **list** of GPIOs that with cause it to wake up (reboot) with their respective values. In such list, GPIO's are separated by an actual '|'
+
+Be mindful that if the same GPIO is used to go to sleep and wakeup with the same level, in other word it's a transition/edge that triggers the action, the above will not work and the esp32 will immediately restart. In such case, you case use a button definition. The benefit of buttons is that not only can you re-use one actual button (e.g. 'stop') to make it the sleep trigger (using a long-press or a shift-press) but by selecting the ACTRLS_SLEEP action upon 'release', you can got to sleep upon release (1-0-1) but also wake up upon another press (0 level applied).

 ## What is this?
 Squeezelite-esp32 is an audio software suite made to run on espressif's esp32 and esp32-s3 wifi (b/g/n) and bluetooth chipsets. It offers the following capabilities

 One you've created such a string, use it to fill a new NVS parameter with any name below 16(?) characters. You can have as many of these configs as you can. Then set the config parameter "actrls_config" with the name of your default config
 
 For example a config named "buttons" :
