Feel free to comment on that :-)

With a threshold voltage of 3V max. I would not recommend using that mosfet in a 3.3V application. It would probably work, but might be unreliable or depend on the specific mosfet (due to production tolerances, some might work better than others).

The IRLML6402 would be a better choice (or any other p-fet with V_GS(th) < 2V):

Thanks - I'll order some of those instead
They're also dirt cheap 50 pcs for $3 on aliexpress...

here is a schematic for you

Can the "simple push button" diagram be easily adapted for a "pull button" (i.e., to activate the ESP when a circuit opens)?

Many thanks!
