Using the [Sleep command](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Commands#management) you can instruct Tasmota to sleep for the set milliseconds in its main cycle. While sleeping your device will consume less power. Using the [Sleep command](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Commands#management) you can instruct Tasmota to sleep for the set milliseconds in its main cycle. While sleeping your device will consume less power.
You may also consider [Dynamic Sleep (SetOption36)](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/SetOption36) which was introduced from 6.3.0.10 - Using of the [Sleep command](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Commands#management) in conjunction with [Dynamic Sleep (SetOption36)](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/SetOption36) is not recommended. Any devices upgraded to 6.3.0.10 or higher will automatically have Dynamic Sleep enabled.
Setting `Sleep` to lowest value `1` reduces power consumption already about ~30% in idle mode (relay off) and button presses are still noticed without any delay. Setting this around 50 ms reduces power consumption from ~1.1 W to ~0.6 W on an idling (relay off) sonoff and button presses are still noticed correctly. With this setting you have to concentrate very hard to click the button so fast that it is not recognized by the device.

If your Sonoff needs to do something continuously, this will be affected. E.g. Sonoff LED will flicker and Sonoff POW will not be able to correctly total the energy consumption. Spot readings of power, voltage, etc. will however remain correct. If your Sonoff needs to do something continuously, this will be affected. E.g.
