Hi all,
If I run
ESP.deepSleep(60000);
my ESP8266 sleeps for 60 seconds.

if I run
ESP.deepSleep(0);
I expect that it should sleep forever but it wake up after an hours or so.

Is there a way to tell my ESP8266 to sleep forever or until I manually reset it?

it wake up after an hours or so

71min perhap?

Thanks for the answer.

Yes but is there a way to say esp to shutdown forever and not to sleep for X seconds?

Remove the connection between the reset and GPIO - then when you tell it to sleep for any amount of time it will not wake up
