Here is part of ESP32 with DHT11 deep sleep guide explaining the basic behind code. Our DOIT ESP32 board (which we commonly use in examples on this website), not energy efficient for deep sleep. However, it works. We already can connect normal Arduino UNO with DHT 11, with ESP32 Arduino and also we can use the setup to send data to IBM Watson IoT.
ESP32 offers us deep sleep mode for power saving. Power saving is an important factor for IoT applications and saving power we can make an IoT project running with two AA batteries for a year. Deep Sleep is of the CPUs and most of the RAM and peripherals which are clocked from APB_CLK are powered off. The RTC controller, RTC peripherals and RTC memories are parts of the chip which can kept powered on. So, we must remember that both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are powered off. However, the chip will store Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection data in the RTC memory (RTC_DATA_ATTR attribute). If we want to store it into the RTC memory then we will define a global variable like RTC_DATA_ATTR int bootCount = 0;. ESP32 has different power modes such as Active mode, Modem Sleep mode, Light Sleep mode, Deep Sleep mode and Hibernation mode. These five modes can be found on ESP32 Espressif datasheet. Deep Sleep is to put in sleep and we have different modes to wake it up such as timer wake up, touch wake up, and external wake up. In our earlier guide, we have shown a two LED timer guide for demonstration of deep sleep :

From our previous code to connect ESP32 with DHT11, we can modify the code :

In second part we will connect it with cloud IoT service.
