### Sketch
#include
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
WiFi.begin("xyz", "xyz"); // connect to the network
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("Reset Reason: " + String(ESP.getResetReason()));
Serial.print("Auto Connect:");
Serial.println(WiFi.getAutoConnect()?"True":"False");
Serial.println("Core Version:" + String(ESP.getCoreVersion()));
Serial.println("SDK Version:" + String(ESP.getSdkVersion()));

while(WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
{
Serial.println("WiFi.Status():" + String(WiFi.status()));
delay(100);
}
Serial.println("WiFi.Status():" + String(WiFi.status()));
Serial.println("WiFi connected");

}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
ESP.deepSleep(1000000 * 10, WAKE_RF_DEFAULT);
}
