Hi,
Is this something you have considered ? If not could you point where this should be added if i can figure it out myself ?

This post mentions the call needed.

@alonewolfx2 cool, thx. Have you tried using the Deep Sleep in the ESP8266 ? I noticed there is a talk about the Sleep and writing to RTC memory before going to sleep. that support would be nice too here in NodeLua. http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=68#p292

Also i noticed here : http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=155&sid=e0f153ed0d7c46628c02054a64496056#p2413 that you are asking about waking up the module with interrupts e.g on one of the GPIO pins, did you get an answer on that ?

That would be cool if possible because then the system could wake up only when the interrupt on an GPIO pins happens.

i dont know and i dont test gpio interrupt. just i tested gpio16 pullup to gnd and its waking. i removed power led and i saw 40-50 micro amp.
